The thing that sits in front of the 'ball in play' bulbs on the apron. My Crescendo is missing it, I can just look at the light bulbs, how boring. What's the name of that card or THING that is supposed to be there so I can try and hunt one down?

I didn't think steve had the light dividers???? I thought I asked him once and he said no. I could be wrong but if he does make sure you post a price so I know
Do you mean these?

Hard to find on the website but saw them the other day!
gtb-a9995.jpgThe light dividers are unobtainium. You'll need to find one from a parts game, or schlock one out of cardboard until you can find one.
I wonder if one of the 3d print guys can make these. swinks has made some different types of light dividers and put them up on shapeways, I bet this wouldn't be too challenging for someone who knows how to model.
I hoarded these because they were hard to find, then someone said steve at pbr had them? but I guess they were talking about the card not the light divider....
Quoted from Rat_Tomago:Steve should consider reproing the deviders
Depending on cost, I think the 3D printing idea is a good one.
someone's gotta be able to model and print it, just need the specs. It's not like it's complicated, I just have no idea how they attach or mount... hell, I can probably make something myself out of poster-board and elmers' glue that's sufficient for the light-blocker part LOL.
I have access to a small 3D printer which should be able to handle this.
I will see if a buddy of mine will model it.
Will probably cost me a couple lunches.
But I'm not sure if we have material to print black.
I'll have to investigate
Doesn't matter as long as it blocks the light from illuminating the card segments adjacent. At least not to me.
Doesn't even need to block light. You could always paint it after it is printed.
I have one I will loan out if you need one to model from.

FYI, Silver spray paint blocks light better than black. So, as was suggested, it could be printed out of any durable material (needs to withstand the heat of the game over lamp unless you go LED) and then painted. Silver to block the light, followed by black to make it look original. But then, who is even going to see it once mounted.
Frax...Just ask Nicolas and Shawn to 3D print one for you. They have the tools and they have the part right there on Nicolas's 1967 Gottlieb Surfside. After they 3D print it then you can do like others have said paint it black or matte grey etc. Retro LEDs look better in those 6 bulbs than 44 /47 bulbs.
