Mate are they "Star" shaped ones or the "ribbed" ones . My Bally SM$M has the 1 1/8" ribbed ones . Local guys have the 1" ones and some longer ones (can't think of the exact length ATM) .

Only place I found I could get the 1 1/8" ones was Marco :

I have not looked on Marcos for years after the last experience they will be a final option for me  *%*

Best bet would be to take one out of the S&S and measure the overall length of it accurately .

If they are the ribbed posts you are after I think Marco only has a couple of different ones . From the Home page click on "Parts by Category" , then "Playfield Parts" , then "Posts/Spacers/Standoffs - Plastic" .... It should bring up 6 pages of items ... Page 2 has Blue 1 1/8" ribbed posts (#C-952-4) , Page 5 has 1 1/8" Red Ribbed posts (#C-952-7) and 1" Red Ribbed posts (#C-951-7) .

Depends on what length was used on Strikes and Spares .

If you need 1" long ones then Greg has these :

He also has these which I think are 1 3/16" :

Thanx Cruiserman, definatley good tip, will do, want to strip and clean the playfield anyway.

While i have everyones attention, my plastics seem to be loose ie: they move a lot. Is there supposed to be washers under the plastics? I have tightened the "nuts" as much as they go, am i missing something?

I got the long blue ones from Greg RTBB for my 1980 Xenon and was very happy with them.
