Post by Chris Silver »

Guys, I need purple lane guides and can't find them anywhere. is it possible nobody reproduces them? marco doesn't have any either.

I need 7 for my Stellar Wars. If anyone has any )and I can get enough to replenish my playfield) I'm willing to replace them with brand new colour of your choice.

Not those ones. Those are old school.

You never know how much you want something until you just can't get it. LOL

not the same guide ... Sparky yours is 1 3/4 inch long and he needs 2 1/8 inch long ( he even put a picture with the measurement !)

he needs this one http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/PG44


LF: GrooveCoaster Machine, shmups or any PCB, specifically Namco System 1 (Pacmania), let me know what you have!

A lot of the sides are broken off on mine so as the ball goes down the lanes, it's like a hotdog in a hallway or a cheap Taiwanese hooker. This affects my gameplay drastically and I need to fix it especially if it eventually goes to Sparky.

Below in the YouTube video you will see the originals are purple and the guy replaced his broken Lane top centre with a blue one.

As for the flyer, I mentioned it was for the flyer only and I believe just so you can definitively see it better for the promotional picture.

In the end I figure if I do find some old stock they will probably be brittle and break at some point in the near enough future.

Thanks guys. :D

Never thought of looking up the word Violet. It's like going for cyan, teal or mauve. They're not your typical colours in the male rainbow. Lol

Thank you very much. I have a large order to place in the near future, but for now I'll take nine of these. The thing is I'm not sure when I'll be making it to the fish store in the near future.
