Hey, I'll go you one better than a scan. I have the actual plastic. Unless you're super keen on making your own of course? By the way, you're going to want to make a custom plastic protector for the plastic that goes behind the three bank set of drop targets. That plastic is broken on just about every game I've seen and is a really tough find. You'll also want to get some plastic washers to protect the corners of the other plastics for the high impact shots. When this game is set up correctly and waxed, it gets pretty fast. It's not super complex but pretty fun and underrated in my opinion. Also pretty uncommon.....let me know about the plastic....

So to make your custom protectors, you’ll need some Lexan polycarbonate, (I use .093 which is probably on the thicker side, but works....). I trace the outline of the plastic over the plastic covering on the Lexan sheet and then cut it to size about a 1/4 to 3/8 inch wider than the outline all around using a band saw. You’ll also want to mark the holes in your protector, again using the original plastic as a template and cut them through using a high speed drill. Once you’ve got it all cut out, you’ll want to sand the edges to make it look smooth. I use a belt sander, hold/mount it upside down and run the edges of the protector on it by hand but you could probably hand sand it too. Take the plastic covering off the Lexan and install it underneath the original plastic. See the pics for my results. I also made protectors for the top plastics, they were all cracked when I got this game as well. They take a pretty good beating from the pop bumpers. YMMV, but I’d at least do the 3 bank.
