I Flash that I picked has two different sized plastic posts used on the playfield. Some 1" and some 1-3/16".

What should they be?

Thanks

Could also be red - Williams did both colors for Flash. My informal polling suggests the red post Flash machines were mostly System 6 where the blues were System 4, though I know of people who had red posts and System 4 boards in there.

IMHO, I think the blue looks better with Flash. But you can make it whatever you want - it's your game.

I like the blue as well. I am even considering replacing the red arrows with blue since several have fallen out. I would have to order the red arrows from Australia at an astronomical price. The blue arrows are $ 0.50 ea.

Here is an idea I did on mine. I took the red posts from a Phoenix and replaced them under the three drop target and put RED LED bulbs there because the plastic is RED.

Jester,

Sounds pretty cool. Can you post a picture with the lights on?

Unfortunately I sold it and I couldn't find a good picture with the lights on ;-(
