[FOUND] LF: white posts

Post by cait001 »

Shopping a 1976 Gottlieb Sure Shot and found a few of these white posts are cracked. Anyone in Ottawa have extras I could buy? Need 2 but would take 8 for spares. Doesn't need to be new.
Would love to pickup this weekend in Ottawa.

When I restored my Sure Shot, I ran into the same issue with the posts. Many disintegrated upon removal. It was a widespread issue with Sure Shots and other titles released that year, I'm told.

Bally used the same facetted post from the same supplier as Gottlieb for a while. They probably made thousands of these softer plastic posts which split if the post nut was over tightened till they switched back to making them tougher. I've seen these split posts on Old Chicago, Hocus Pocus, Flip Flop, Surf Champ, and lots of others I can't think of right now.

Une règle suivi guéri de tout. A rule respected can cure anything.

A philosophy of doing shall rule until the days when I can no longer "do" arrive. Because when I am too old to adjust an AX relay or relieve a woman friend from sighing, there will only be memories to fill my time. So, the task at hand is to build that RRSP of memories in order to joyfully cushion the later stages of life.

Personally prefer the exceptional qualities lurking beneath any normal state of affairs. Alas, our day to day is being promoted as extraordinary via a world wide web largely fueled by the new dumb & followed closely by the latest breed of unscrupulous scoundrels & judas goats. So, god bless the fool hearted, the crazed, and the railroaded all in good measure for they will likely inherit what is left of the earth after the screwheads are done with it. God damn darwinian primates, why do they refuse to evolve, even after all we should have learned from being dumb savages for so long.
