Quoted from pinhead52:

I can probably get another batch of 400 NOS off white posts, let me know if there is further interest.

I would take 2 batches of 50 posts. Can you also get some of the taller ones to match?

Cool. Let us know when they are ready and how you want payment.

Payment sent. I look forward to seeing the "original" color and not the blueish ones for a change.

Some games have posts that are way too far gone to re-use (white powder, badly yellowed, even cracked). And to some of us, the new stock that PBR gets is way too blue-ish for our tastes. So, being able to get a faceted post with the proper off white color of the originals, is a much better choice, Bally or Gott mold doesn't really matter to me.

I bought a huge box of used posts off some guy off ebay. This gives me a select amount of posts to match up when changing a post here and there. But it doesn't allow me to totally freshen up a game that is getting more than just a simple shop job.

The fact that they will also work on our Bally games (Wizard etc.) is just another plus in my book.

I made the assumption also that these posts would be Gottlieb but in the end, It doesn't matter to me and I don't regret my purchase. As no one could possibly tell the difference without a close comparison and I am the only one that is going to pull a plastic off to see the obvious difference.

For what its worth. Most parts used by Bally, Williams, Chicago Coin AND Gottlieb came from the same molds at Foremost plastics. They were called off the shelf parts and could be purchased by anyone including Wico to fill their supply needs. There were, of course some exceptions that were unique to one manufacture (Bally Branded Ball guides/light aprons, Gottlieb Tee-Pee style mini-roll over dividers for example. And, Gottlieb even branded their coil bobbins).

"then there's being anal" - Thanks EMsInKC, you made me laugh today!

I got mine a few days ago and was also very happy with them.

Thanks Pinhead52!
