So I bought my first EM... a Williams SKYLAB. I've been trying to find a list of rubber sizes for it. I've found plenty of ring kits for sale, but I can never bring myself to by those. I'd measure them, but I am pretty sure many of them have stretched from their original size.
I have plenty of white rubbers in my toolbox, but there are a few that seem really large to me.

If anyone has a list of their sizes, I'd be grateful!

Here is what I got from Marco image-545.jpgimage-545.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Awesome! If I could give you 10 thumbs up, I would.

Very much appreciated.

Happy to help out.

A 5"er will work if you don't have a 6.

How does the yellow rubber look on the flippers. Mine had red on it and that's what I replaced it with, but I'm not real happy with how it looks.

The kit came with red flipper rubbers, so that is what I put on. My game also had red flipper bats, so I think they look ok. The yellow was for the 2 big bumper post.

Ah yes - I should have looked closer at the list

Mine has the black rubber on the red flippers...I think the combination looks really good.

I picked up all the rubbers, except for the two yellow ones on the outer sided of the captured balls.
I did wind up having to use a 5" ring, because there was no 6" ones at Starburst in Toronto.

Funnily enough, I found a picture of my machine uploaded to IPDB a few years before I bought it:

Those are the same flippers that were on the game when I bought it. They look to be of the Gottlieb variety. (on PBresource: http://bit.ly/1tKWVWz) Seeing as they were cracked, I've temporarily put Sys11 era bats on it until I can source myself some originals. (heck, I might even buy another set of the Gottlieb ones. They looked pretty good on there.

Does anyone know if those posts with the yellow rubber are still available? One of mine is broken

It looks like Marco may have them. Can't find them now.

I put white rubber on the red flippers...i like how it looks. Just another free suggestion!
