[Sgt GrizZ]

Need one of these thin wire guides .... anyone have one in their box of bits ?? Not sure part number - struggling to find it. Are these seen on Williams games too, might be.

 

[PinballDaze]

IIRC they are called "Biff bars"

I thought 'biff bars' were the ones at playfield level behind flippers ?

Lane guides is what those are called.

Edit : nope, looks like Sega called them differently...

Looks like these ones Sgt??

Awesome ! I bloody looked there too as I'm putting an order together . Thanks @Paul

Going insane getting parts order together across multiple sites ....first world problems

 

[Paul]

The way i tend to do it.. Search for the machine on Marco, list all the parts for that machine, work my way through and work out which i need, Grab the part numbers, and throw that into Google....

Oh and cross fingers

Yep - and of course the dreaded 'out of stock ' even if they have it listed means you can never get everything from one place

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

Still looking .......... Sods law of course , Best Of Pinball said they had 1 in stock .........they didn't

Surely I don't have to go to the US for one of these ....

I know this don't really help sarge but, the ones on POTO are flat blade type.

Could you not just bend a coat hanger to suit ?

Possibly something slightly thicker than a coat hanger but you get the idea, it’s only 1 bend and one loop at the other end

It's an option. Might get some of that wire that people fashion 'gates' from

 

[paddythegreek]

Its called piano wire from model shops. Usually in metre lenghts

 

[arakissun]

I have for sure from both types-flat and round.
If you cannot find it from your side I can send it.
