Title: Firepower stand-up target replacement options
Post by: goodolddays on February 04, 2018, 09:53:34 AM

Hi all.
 
 I am wondering what you guys have used to replace broken stand-up targets on your Firepower pinball ?
 
 One of the centre stand-up targets on my Firepower broke at the base of the switch blade.
 
 No problem .. I pinched the blade with the red target from the spare swinging target assembly that came with my Space Odyssey. ()

Then I noticed my FP playfield really needed a good clean , which is when I found the rubber behind the left centre target bank had snapped (probably contributed to the target breaking in that bank ??) ::)

So now I really need to buy a replacement so wondering what you guys have used ..
 
 From doing a bit of googling it seems that A-14691-4 is the drop in replacement but they are pretty expensive .
 
 I found sw-1a-170-4 which looks feasible but don't think I can buy it here ?
 
 Also maybe this is a possibility ?? http://www.pinballspareparts.com.au/...a-00215-r.html (http://www.pinballspareparts.com.au/playfield-parts/switches/standup-targets/a-00215-r.html)
 
 Really I just need the leaf with the target face .. wonder if this would work ?? (just spray it red)
 http://www.pinballspareparts.com.au/...getpurple.html (http://www.pinballspareparts.com.au/playfield-parts/switches/standup-targets/targetpurple.html)    ??
 
 Also thinking about buying a couple of spares for down the track, but trying to avoid paying $15 each .
 
 What have you guys done ?
 
 Cheers
 Dave

I used the red Capcom ones that RTBB had back in Greg's time.  Maybe Nino has  some still? Pretty sure I had to reverse them.

Thanks for the feedback Nick . ^^^ 


Do you mean these ones ?

I have a spare playfield with my Space Odyssey so might just buy some new round target faces and reuse the target switches from that playfield if needed but good to know the Capcom ones are another option .
At the moment I just need to replace the broken face on the top stand up target.
