Hi all,
I recently received my 1972 Williams Super Star back from repair and everything is working great, but I'm having trouble finding a part. I'm looking for a pair of rubber pop up bumpers that live in the out lanes. The current ones are white and are turning to dust. Marco has a part that will work in red, but they have just 1 in stock. I need 2.

Anyone know where I can find these, OR how to fashion new ones myself without too much effort? It's just a hard rubber cylinder after all...

White version slightly visible in game screenshot below, red one from Marco below that.
Thanks all,

You might try John Robertson at flippers.com. I think the part number is 23A-7089A. He has lots of old parts, but he's not cheap.

If that picture is accurate, you can try to go to a homebrew supply store:

This might totally work,
Found a lot more options here: http://www.widgetco.com/rubber-stoppers?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Rubber%20Stoppers%20(%2420)&utm_term=rubber%20stopper%20size

Going to take some measurements and see the exact size in inches and order some samples to try. These perhaps might be a little more tapered than stock, but I'm not picky and could look awesome.

Some are drilled, some are not. Can you drill rubber?

Thanks all, will update when I get some samples!

You can drill rubber. Start small and increase to the size you need in increments. Practice on some scrap rubber first.
