Does anyone know of a European alternative to HobbyAir or Breathecool fresh air supplies? All I can find is super professional 3M stuff running in the 1000's of Euro's.

Thanks!

I'm currently working on my Blackout project and hit a minor snag. All of the arrow inserts were cupped, so I took them out and ordered new ones.

The red and orange ones are a perfect fit, but the green ones I ordered are just a tiny bit larger so they don't fit into the holes (they are a slightly different mold... may have gotten the wrong part?).

I tried sanding one down on the sides to make it fit, but that's tricky to do and I fear they will be sanded unevenly. Anyone have some advice?

Quoted from vid1900:

They might be Gottlieb.
Trace them onto the playfield with an Xacto knife and slightly enlarge the playfield holes.

Thanks vid, what tool would i use to enlarge the playfield holes?
