Star Wars
Data East, 1992After I cleaned my playfield, I was amazed at how much speed the ball seems to have now.
So much that a ball hit the bumper post to the right of the Death Star Trench (Part # 530-5007-000) and snapped the thing right off!
Luckily no other damage to the plastics happened (yet).
My question: Where can I get a replacement post? I've searched around and haven't had much luck.
This should do it:

Service Update:
Stern recommends using this stronger 530-5332-03 post instead of 530-5007-00 post. The 530-5007-00 snaps too easily and has been discontinued.
Drill a wider hole and secure the 530-5332-00 post with 240-5203-00 nut or 4410-01132-00 Nylok nut.

Thanks! I thought I searched Marco, but I didn't see that. Figures...I put in an order a couple months ago...now shipping is going to cost me $8 for a $4.50 item.

I should get one too, looks like good insurance.
