Attack from Mars
Bally, 1995Does anybody know the name of the red rubber sleeves at the entry to the ramp(s)? I ordered what I thought were replacements, but they were too narrow. I've combed through a couple of pinball supply sites, but I can't find anything that resembles these. Does anybody know their exact size?
One of the challenges is that when people 'mod' their games, a couple of years later, even if it's a simple thing like replacing the factory black with red, you have a hard time figuring out what the heck they used.
And where they got it.
And if replacements are going to give the same look.
What you have looks like Pinball Life Perfectplay thin (which are now on clearance), and they have no red in stock:

.
I personally would just put them back to black:

But if you need to explore some red options...

Ah! Thank you. Those sure look like the part I need, but I never saw anything like that in the playfield parts sections of the supply sites (any of the sections). I assumed they'd be super easy to find online.

They're rubber...so maybe if you were looking for plastic is didn't work out?
Enjoy!

Thanks. I'm a big fan of green, in general. Green and yellow. I don't like red, but red is a popular color in the world of pinball. Anyhow, now, I know they are classified as rubber rings or bumper post sleeves. I'm sure that I searched "sleeve."
