Found it! Bally Backbox Plastic Light Shield Thingies

[Nedreud]

Gawd knows what they're supposed to be called but I've realised I'm missing 2 of these white plastic bits which are stapled onto the lightboard to shield the light from lamps that light up text like "GAME OVER" on the backglass. Here's one surrounding the "1 MILLION" lamp:



Has anyone got a couple of these salvaged from a knackered backbox? Not too fussed about condition as they're not seen and my others are pretty grotty and warped anyway. Sure they'll all look better for a quick dip in bleach in the ultrasonic cleaner!

ive seen them re-made using stiff card,but that was with LED's installed instead of original bulbs

Bring one to me on Friday and I'll see if I can get my friendly 3D printer man on it...

I'm into railway modelling so have plenty of white "Plasticard" that I could knock into these boxy shapes. So good idea if no originals turn up.

Ooh! Also another interesting idea! Like it.

If you've got some originals you've got kicking around and are willing to part I'd prefer that. Let's talk turkey!

Okay,
I can remove them and post on Monday. Pm me your address.
