The problem is all of the blue I have seen... is a washed out blue; looks more aqua. There was a supplier in Europe many years ago for the posts. don't know if they exist today.

Quoted from stangbat:Are these the ones people were saying are the wrong color?

This is way too light. Though could be used. Not on my games.
Not to throw a wrench in this but Seawitch was also made with Ribbed posts but they were very dark like what is under 1980 Williams games to hold light boards. Almost a purple. Much darker then what is available. They were also much brittle like the faceted posts. Here is a picture of my Swap. I have had probably 10 seawitches over the years and 2 had ribbed posts.

Craig, It is time...I need to come see your collection....Especially now you have a Nineball...
