Rubber Square…..from where?

[Neoretro]

Hi All,

Was playing fish tales last night and a blue rubber square about an inch square appeared in the rail between caster club and the reel.

I assume it came from the back of the caster club. But does anyone know for certain?

Thanks

Dave

It's definitely not one of these?

 

[Neoretro]

Definitely could be.

Although no idea how it got where it did in that case. I shall investigate later. Cheers

Those end of wireforms pads have a nubbin on the back .
I don’t recall a rubber pad in Casters Club on any of my previous FT But I could be wrong ….

How would you re-stick it?

Could a previous owner have added a pad to try to prevent ball rejects at the casters club?

I used some hot glue when I replaced my grubby blue ones, hot glue while tough is not permanent and no mess left behind.

The ramp/wireform pads square or round have a nubbin like this .



If it’s just flat then double sided tape or whatever to attach

Mine are square with no nubbin, and no hole in the wireforms for it as far as I know. Weird there's different versions

Yes, it’s odd - noticed this last year after playing mine for ages then looking at other machines. I think the rounded nubbin version is probably slightly newer as less prone to falling out

Interesting - will check my old photos , thought all 3 of my Fishies were nubbintastic but maybe they weren’t !

Actually, ignore me. Just got home and it’s a dull old square pad on mine. No nubbin for miles… (well, about 2metres, cos RoadShow has ‘em)

FFS ... STOP ... SAYING ... NUBBIN!!!

 

[Neoretro]

everyone was correct if was from the end of a rail.

Nubbin.

 

[Judderman]

Well, if you can't beat 'em - please move along, nubbin to see here

 

[Widnesbernie]
