CFTBL targets

[windoesnot]

So I got my first pin yesterday (hurrah) and had a credit dot appear after a bit, nothing to worry about and it was a false alarm on one of the snack bar stand up target switches.

However this got me thinking about if it was an actual problem with it and how to source a replacement for it. Ends up part no A-16206-2 isn't in stock anywhere online. Marco Specialties list them but not available:

Would it be possible to use a different standup target instead of this one should any of them need replacing at some point? For instance:

Says not in stock but other sites do have these ones and it looks exactly the same bar the colour (and could either re-paint or get a green target face for it).

Thanks

The green Snack Bar targets are not available anywhere.
Save you looking.
You can break down the target and replace what needs replacing.

Can you get the faces from pbr? And rivet them to new switches like I did in fp

 

[Carl Spiby]

Unless the faces are actually cracked, can't the switches just be cleaned up in most cases?

Like what I have already said above.
Break down the target by drilling out the rivets, separate then remove the broken part and replace with a good one from another target.
If the green plastic is damaged then you are stuffed as you can't get that baby anywhere.
