Quoted from dmacy:I'm going off what is offered from PL. Not what I would prefer. Or what you prefer either lol! Don't get me wrong, but I don't agree with you.
Suggesting someone to drill or otherwise modify their playfield unnecessarily to accommodate your obviously extremely limited knowledge of parts availability and sources is a VERY bad idea! And regardless of whether you agree with me or not, you clearly should not be giving repair advice to anyone, EVER!!! But hopefully this guy i'm just trying to help, figures that out on his own!
Now, to the guy who i'm trying to help, hopefully this very simple pic will explain what i'm talking about, and for certain others, illustrate the difference between the original ONE piece ramp support post, and the CUSTOM TWO piece ramp support post in the pic that was posted by the guy who i'm trying to help, that asked the question!!
The left "thing" is the ONE piece, hex post that was original to the game when it was manufactured, as Pat Lawlor intended.
The right "thing" is the TWO piece CUSTOM post that is in the picture that the guy i'm trying to help, POSTED! These are all the pieces you will need to replicate THAT style of ramp support post.
PLEASE NOTE that the hex posts I used in these pics are NOT the correct length, and used only for illustration purposes.
