    Does anyone sell complete rubber O ring kits for machines? I’ve been looking and can’t find any. Or do I just have to get the O ring sizes I need from the manual and then go to Titan and order them all. Be much easier to be able to buy a complete kit.

    Titan has game specific kits

    You can find them on pinside marketplace, ebay, and titan...amongst other places.

    I really like to build my own through Titan

    Ive been to Titan a number of times and cannot find complete game sets. Where are you seeing those? When I do a search it comes up with nothing.

    This is the best way to do IMO.

    Check PBR and Marcos. They both sell kits.

    Search game title, I will say, don’t count on any of those suggested kits being 100% accurate. I did that for Transformers, and two ring sizes were off. Colored Titans when stretched, lose the color dramatically. A few purples became whitish, waiting on correct sizes now.

    To answer your question, there’s no accurate kits that I’ve encountered over the years. If going with basic black or white, have an extra multi kit on standby. If colored, order extras and possibly a size up on a few.

    Titan does have user-submitted kits, but even if they don't have a kit for your game, it's worth the extra struggle of ordering the rings individually. Their rings are soooo much better than the standard rings Marco or PBR sell

    What pin is it?

    It’s for a Ghostbusters LE

    Thanks for the suggestions. Sounds like building the kit yourself is the way to go.

    I am a big supporter of the rubber that Marco sells.

    In the search bar, type in the name of the game, and 'rubber kit'.

    'Ghostbusters rubber kit'

    Apparently there isn't much rubber difference between the PRO and the LE, so the kit they sell is:

    Though I would do it in black:

    I prefer the thick rubber shooter tips that Suzo/Happ sells, but I buy rubber in bulk, so in your case I'd just use what Marco sent me. Nevertheless, here is the link for the better shooter tip:

    Titan... Their rings are soooo much better than the standard rings Marco or PBR sell

    Agreed.

    However, for that 'original pinball' look and feel, silicon rings wouldn't be what I'd grab.

    I think of silicon rings as an upgrade in reliability and appearance, but they don't quite have the same feel as the original pinball rubber.

    (shrugs)

    It depends on the project I'm working on.

    For most people, I agree that Titan silicon rings are a good upgrade.

    There are specific kits for Ghostbusters that you can double check, but I would recommend glow rings on a GBLE.

    Here are Stern manual specifics:
