    Brass tubing, notched and pinched.

    Slide black brake line in until it stops, slice off with a razor blade. Instant post sleeve.

    Red arrows point to roll pin. Lots of plungers besides flippers, have them in a pinball machine.

    Making my own post sleeves.

    Not home made. Just thought it might help.

    I use the neoprene sliders on the levelers of my pinball legs to protect my floor. And sometimes they snap on and stay. And sometimes they don't.

    On the ones that don't like to stay put. Which is a real pain to crawl under a pin and lift up and put it back. I tried hot glue, silicone, epoxy, pro super glue, gorilla glue, everything I could think of. Nothing worked.

    Then I ran into stuff people use on valuables on shelves in areas prone to earthquakes. Goes by many variations of quake putty. I found this at Home Depot. Kind of soft and pliable. I make a small flat round piece of it and stick it on the slider. Push into place. Works 99% of the time. Better than anything else I tried. And it stays sticky and tacky forever.

    I'm curious what people use to clean the female side of jones plugs on EM machines?

    Half water and half CLR and a .17 caliber brass gun barrel brush.
