    Thinking of putting in a set of mirrors but there are a wide variety of prices and places selling them now. Looking for some input on where to buy!

    Hello…..Anyone out there?

    Pinballsidemirrors.com are the ones I use. I have 4 sets on my games. Installation is easy and fit and finish is great.

    What is the difference between the side mirrors and the side blades? Both sold by the same people.

    This is where I bought my blades, and I'd agree 100%. They look great, and installation was a snap. Just wear gloves when you peel off the backing... unless you like "paper cuts" from sharp-ass glass all over your hands. I've learned my lesson. Dish gloves do just fine. Just don't barehand it. You'll be sorry.

    IIRC, the blades are not mirrored... or if they are, the effect is very minimal.

    Been living on the edge for a while now (no gloves)....I think its becoming a challenge to see how many I can do without cutting the piss out of myself.

    What I found to be helpfull is to line up the pivot hole for the back back box first, put the bolt back in but not too tight, then put a few of the small installation screws in, again, not too tight. Pull the protective covering off, then tighten down your screws/bolt.

    I just bought another pair of these at Allentown. Picked up a pair for Bally/Williams and am going to try to install in my Capcom Airborne....will post as to how they fit.

    Sometimes blades have a cool raised tread pattern on them.
