Hi does anyone know where I can buy Pinball Side Blade protectors for lifting/retracting the playfield to avoid damage to the side blades/cabinet?

Been looking and sites such as Pu-parts.com no longer ship to the UK...

Hi Scott, did you ever find these? Amazing that such a simple thing is so hard to find. Would be interested in knowing if you did. You’d think one of the U.K. companies would make some. It’s just some sheets of thick plastic with a few magnets. If you didn’t find any I think I’m going to try out some eBay plastic sheets and strips of sticky magnets to make my own. Cheers,
Steve

You can get them from pinball life.

I've pestered @David retro to stock them!

I'll be interested in a set of we can find some mirror blades for Creech.
We've put off getting them because it's really tight in the cab but the protectors will at least mean they don't get scratched

You'd think all cabinets were the same but apparently they vary. I've got mirror blades on Fish Tales and that has loads of room, yet creech and Diner seem tighter even without mirror blades.

I got all of mine from Chris, but you have to collect them at Pinfest or organise someone to collect for you.
 
2 sets left. I was going to order some but at £48.33 (including delivery) I'll pass as I don't actually own a Pinball machine at the moment.
