I can picture seeing one lying around but I could be wrong ill have a look tomorrow

awesome, thanks for looking, fingers crossed ;-)

is the plastic flat or moulded?

It is a big molded plastic part then there is a flat metal (I think) part that goes on the back behind the DMD with spacers on the screws between it and the DMD then the DMD controller screws onto that..

The molded plastic part is the most important to me I can make the other part if I need to..

Bay area did sell them for around US$29, but they haven't had stock for as long as I have seen the listing on their site (many months now).. Part no - Data East 545-5180-01



Have tried marco, best of pinball, pinball.co and mrpinball all no go..
