Quoted from cottonm4:

Vid, I have done a few holes with the T-nut solution. And I am thinking about doing this play field with 100% T-nuts.
The problems are costs and finding correct length.
1) The Data East style 6-32 threaded posts that Steve at PBR sells are only 2 inches long. While they will work they are too short to allow the threaded portion to protrude beyond the surface of the T-nut. My aircraft training demands that the threaded part of the post extend beyond the edge of the T-nut so I know for certain that enough threads are grabbing inside the T-nut. PBR sells these for $1.12 each.
2) Marco does not have the correct size that I can see. Plus what Marco does sell is priced higher than a cat's back.
I'm thinking about buying some threaded rod and making my own.
If anybody knows a source for Data East style threaded posts I'm sure interested.

Quoted from djblouw:

Probably a long shot but:
Does anyone have an extra set of ball guides? The large metal ones, not the wire ones (but I'd take the wire ones too)?
Or, if you know where ones can be made/purchased?
Thanks.

Quoted from cottonm4:

Ok. I have had two people email telling me they are building a Quicksilver. I did not ask them but it seems obvious they are doing their build with a Mirco repro Quicksilver play field. One is converting a Dracula. I don't know about the other.
Anyway, both have the same problem and both seem too shy to post their needs on the board. Me? Hell, I'm not shy
These two guys with their Mirco repro play field need ball guides.
So, how many people need to see if Mantis can make some QS ball guides like he did for Star Gazer and Seawitch. I have a set of ball guides that could be donors to send to Mantis.
Let's see some hands.

Quoted from djblouw:

Could someone post some close up pics of the saucer eject plastics? Is it the same one as the Gottlieb's of that era (2 piece design)?

Quoted from seshpilot:

Any word on hen the next production of QS harnesses will happen? So stoked.

Quoted from cottonm4:

Christopher at pinball replacement parts make some 555 lamp boards for Big Game, Catacomb, Cheetah, Flight 2000, Freefall, Meteor, and Nine Ball. I have them in my Big Game, Catacomb and Nine Ball. They work great.
How many would be interested is getting a 555 lamp board for the Quicksilvers you are restoring or the Quicksilvers you are building. Obviously, I would like one of these for my QS build. There is safety in numbers.
Anybody interested?
