The blue hue PBR chose for those reproductions posts was too dark. The originals were 1/2 to 3/4 the shade that PBR sold/sells.

Quoted from mot:FWIW, I bought some ribbed transparent blue posts from PBR when I was restoring my Fathom. The repros were much darker and bluer than the originals, to the point that I ultimately didn't use any of them. I'm not sure how much of that is the color fading with time.
The ones on 3 Seawitch playfields I have are a shade or 2 darker.
Quoted from gabegabegabe:Here are the pics of the blue posts I have. Not sure if they are original or not, but they are unused.

I'd be in at $1 per post. Heck I'd be in at $1.25 each if they are a true match to the original dark blue color they are supposed to be.

Quoted from stangbat:If they are $1/post, they are $1/post. Beats no posts at all. Steve's gotta get paid for his work.
How many games use these blue posts? Star Gazer, Seawitch, ???
+1
Quoted from dothedoo:Shouldn't skimp on a correct restoration. I'm in for the color match and would buy enough for both machines.
Yes. That color is too light. Although that color would have looked great on the Bally ribbed posts Steve reproduced for games like Fathom instead of the darker blue he did for those.
Quoted from stangbat:Are these the ones people were saying are the wrong color?
