Do you know if anybody is making those diverter arm brackets for Rollergames?

Also, the black plastic spot target bank housing (both moving and stationary sections) have, to my knowledge, never been made.

Not a vendor, those are just the first two parts that come to mind...

Classic Stern slingshot kicker arms (# A-157-1).

Classic Stern # 1A-271 Front Coil Bracket for Generation 2 flipper coils.

I have a bunch of zaccaria parts i'd love to repro.

pm sent.

I believe there's at least one other thread detailing unubtanium parts that people would like made.

Potential licensing issues ... unless kept to pms

As long as there is no artwork or logos, there is generally no problem.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/what-parts-are-unobtainium/

It is certainly worthwhile.

That thread simply contains a big list of unobtainable parts people were looking for. A shopping list, of sorts.

The parts that people want is changing all the time as they buy & sell games, and as parts become available or unavailable.

That thread simply gives a jump start on what people might be looking for.

It's merely a pool of ideas. Nobody said you had to make all of them or in massive quantities.

It's a handy list to draw from for your perusal, and anything that you can produce would likely be very appreciated.

Actually, thinking about it some more, if he just wants to create the molds and dies for parts and then pass those molds/dies off to someone else for the production of the actual parts, that would be very useful.

Part of the reason why some parts are unobtainable is that the molds/dies were lost, and it would be too expensive, complicated, or time consuming to have them made again.

am confused...

are you trying to drum up opportunities or just curious about unobtainable parts - nothing wrong with either but really sounds like you are trying to create some work for some good value investment for particular unobtainable parts which is good and cool but just say it or head to the other thread and learn what people are wanting, invest and launch a part at a time and see what people think. If money and time isn't the issue then just pick one and have some fun.

Just a thought....As a start point... why not call Steve at PBR and run this by him. Im sure he could tell you some parts that he would source if he could and how many etc.

I second this. Both the larger and skinnier ones. One would think these wouldn't be hard to manufacture.

Post your offer in the other thread as well.. I think people want the parts made -- one issue is that you need an original when in some cases I'm guessing people want a new one because theirs is gone or broken. Ideally getting the molds made would be awesome or just getting a # for how many people are interested in each part.. lives takes some organization and someone to take the lead

Do you/they have access to precision water jet cutting from file?

I ask, as when you mention military contracts, some of the newest cutters
in the last couple years have become very precise, and I have a serious $$$
project, Ive been trying to piggyback......

Military grade hardware in a pinball machine.

Hmm, the potential....

I would love to see parts with better materials. For example, shadow rings made out of metal instead of plastic.

Thank you! I appreciate your time to inquire!

Wcs ramps. Needed some and they are no where to be found.

Still working on these. And you'd be surprised.

Wire form, or plastic?

Cirqus Voltaire guard ball guides have been unavailable for the past 5 years or so. Pinbits used to fabricate this part, Williams P/N 04-10253-1 (rhs), but has been out of stock for a very long time and this part is not available anywhere else. Also the left hand side version of this part, Williams P/N 04-10253-1 (lhs), for Monster Bash is not available anywhere and hasn't been for quite some time.

Plastic.

Starship Fantasy has these in their pipeline. Fingers crossed that they'll be out soon.

Don't know how large the market is, but Alvin G flipper mechs/links. Sources have dried up and most are having to convert over to WMS linkages.

Plastic. Too bad i sold mine though. Sure there are a lot of people who need plastic ramps.

Capcom flipper mechs

Everything is available except the links.

Alvin G flipper parts are unobatnium. Links, plungers, flipper bats, literally every piece is unobatnium.

Whodunnit Center ramp, and other 2 ramps as well, worse than Unobtainium, think the center ramp was made from rocking horse shit

Judging by the response I have received on my thread, these would qualify as unobtainium.

Even the crickets thought the silence was deafening.

Check out Freeplay40 ramps thread.
Mark will be making the elevator ramp for W?D this month. Go to thread and he takes your name down!

Dozer, which ones you need, all I assume?
This would have to be a vacuform mold. Not easy to do. I had spoken to Rick about a year ago, finding the decals or making them also a challenge.

Have remade Bing Bang Barbara's belt and if needed PM me. Barbara is being made anew from scratch so not just re casted to avoid copying coming soon to replace the one in the picture that was twisted weirded out. Twisted sister for sure. Picture shows her with her new purple panties. First picture shows printed belt before smoothing and painting.

Main thing OP needs is samples to get things refabricated. withouth a sample to copy, not much can be done.

Well, The 2 outside long ones would be great. 1 of my 2 inner ones is damaged, but I have made repairs to all and it should work fine. Yes they are vacuum formed buildings, which I thought would be the good news. That is way more do-able then injection moulding anyway. You are right on about the decals. There are many many decals on those 5 chunks of plastic! A good printer could make short work of that you would think. Just a matter of having the art to print. No indication that Rick has this art?
