I need (8) of the Williams drop target guides as used in games like Blackout. The part # is 03-7479 or 3B-7479. I'm wondering where the cheapest place to buy these is. Marco Specialties has them but they want $18.99/each! Bay Area Amusements lists them in black for $6/each but they are out of stock. I did find this website (https://www.shapeways.com/product/S2ELKPEWT/pinball-drop-target-guide) that 3D prints them but they want $11.50/each. Anyone here try these ones and have any feedback?

Most of the screw holes to mount the drop target boards to the guides are cracked or broken so the boards flop around too much causing issues. I really don't want to spend $100 to replace them if I don't have to.

Anyone know where I can get 8 of these at a decent price? Thanks!

Quoted from jibmums:

You might be better off checking Ebay for a complete drop target bank. Even if it runs you, say, 40 bucks, it'll have four guides and cost less than Marco.

Buying used ones off eBay is risky as the plastic gets so brittle on these things after 30+ years.

A buddy of mine with a 3D printer is going to try printing some of these for me. I'll update the thread once I have tried them.
