Looking for new or good used yellow plastic square target faces. These are used on Stern games of the early 80's and looks like some Bally games. Found red ones at Pinball Resource (BLY-C1024-1 Red Plastic Square Target Face) but out of stock. I am using red round spot targets for now. Thanks for any help.

man all i can find are these red ones from a bally at PBR

You could get 1 and make a mold of it to pour in red. Do you have a part number?

EDIT: my bad you already found the red at PBR. Do they have to be that style? what about the rivet version? I can't tell if you are making your own game or is that a prototype lazer lord?

This is the prototype white wood to Lazer Lord. I contacted PBR and they will not be restocking this item in any color. Don't have a part number yet. If someone has the part number please send it. Thanks

A silicone mold wouldn’t be too bad, just lots of time.

I recently was trying to remake some as well, but they were rivet style. If you want to actually have them made set aside 2-3k.

My son makes small plastic parts for a living but your right. Would cost 3k or more for a mold, then they are pennies after that. Just hoping they are already out there. May just have to change them to yellow round spot targets. They will hold up better, just wont look original.

Here is the P/N for the original
22-1034-02
http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/22-1034-02

first ask Marco if they'll ever get these made or if it was just NOS and is gone now

I guess I would do the square yellow w/ rivet to keep that square look. You can replace the whole switch or, take apart the switch and just take the target. I see they had a cap? on the switch so that would be for schematics verifying or someone with better knowledge of the generation/game.

Here you go.
I noticed the target faces were identical to the ones that Bally had used on Medusa (and maybe other games). I saw that Bob Langelius had made a mold and reproduced the translucent Bally targets.
I asked him if he'd be willing to make more, but in the stern opaque colours.

Here's the result:

Contacted Bob ([email protected]) and he is sending me the targets I need. Super nice guy, looking forward to installing his targets and posting pics here and on my Blog: https://lazerlord.blogspot.com/ Thanks for all the help.

Bob is amazing! Great guy! There are only a few members who have put their own money on the line to make/repro parts for our community.
