Since Dan & I are huge fans of Transporter The Rescue - we decided we should remake the unobtainium upper playfield flipper. For those that have Transporter - there has been no alternative part as the upper playfield flipper has a longer shaft than the primary playfield flippers. Oddly, when the part was available - we noticed the important groove & C-clip that is key to keeping the flipper from dragging on the upper playfield - was missing. We solved that....our flipper is made of ASA-strength material and has been re-designed to reinforce strength and durability. It comes in black, but can be painted any color you like - especially yellow! The shaft is cut to proper length and has the groove & C-clip in place! Just PM us! $25 shipped in the U.S.!

Quoted from ZooDude:

Is this 3-D printed or cast? Why not make it in yellow? Painted flipper bat seems like a problem waiting to happen, what type of paint are you using? Rattle can?
Thanks

These are 3D printed....although re-designed for strength.....We found that variations in yellow - due to fade and various NOS replacement color variants - made matching flipper bats tricky - and would rather put it in the hands of owners to match the flipper color. The owners can paint however they choose - we have used rattle can and a follow up clear-coat - works fantastic on the flippers we use and sell ( this isn't the only flipper we sell). We've had our upper flippers on SOF and Transporter now for several months.....and have sold many with no concerns...

Quoted from ZooDude:

Would you sell just the shaft with the groove? I'd want to cast a bat myself for this Would be nice to have a backup.
Thanks for taking the time to do this, cool to see people making what they need.
