    What do you call the big plastic guides (some look like 2" flipper bats) that are mounted on playfields? Basically doing the same thing as plastic post with rings on them but larger. Several different shapes were used and it seems the most common looks like a 2" flipper bat.

    I am parting out a few "junk" woodrails and I don't know what to call them when I list them for sale.

    THANKS!

    I would call them a 2" flipper bat style lane guide. They are molded the same and can be interchanged with a 2" flipper bat only they don't say "Flipper" on them.

    I have what looks like a red "flipper" bat on the top left of the Mercury. Is this what you mean? It's not a flipper but a guide. On this machine, it helps redirect the ball after it's been kicked out of the 1 kicker.

    Exactly what I am talking about. But they made them in several shapes like triangle and a kind of flattened diamond as well as flipper bat style (is what I have had so far). I just want to be able to list them so people will find them if they are looking for them.

    THANKS!

    Also pre pop bumpers came in a diamond shape as well as round. How would you list those? Again just trying to get parts to people who are looking for them and want to be sure I call them by correct name.

    THANKS AGAIN!

    I would be sure to list them with pictures.

    My issue is I list my parts for sale on eBay and need to know what to use as a title to get potential buyers to find the listings. I have been doing pinball parts on eBay for several years now to get some of my excess parts inventory to people who need those parts. I don't have a ton of woodrail experience and trying to research certain items online has been tough.

    Just an "err..."
