Give Curly a shout at Little Shop of Games. He has them for Stern, Data East and Bally Williams. They are not on the website yet, so call 561-248-9628


I will be at the Star Wars launch party at Replay on Sunday August 20th. If you want to order them I will bring them to the event to save on shipping. Them steel buggers are cumbersome! (Cue Seven Mary Three)

dumb question but I m going ask it anyway  since the blades are attached to the inside of the cabinet and are not in contact with the playfield as it can go up and down, are each set of blades specific to the exact game?

No

As far as I know there are 4 types of blades,  Stern, W/B, Sega, Data East and those are what I carry in stock. I have never tried them in EM's or most SS games.

Curly is the guy to goto for mirror blades. They are the best quality. Easy to apply... no brainer with the peel and stick tape.

Ive bought the ones specific to STERN cabinets from Curly... doesn't matter if its a PRO, PREMIUM or LE. All the same.

If you need blades for your JJP pin I bought a set for my WOZ from Curly as welll awhile back.. I believe those were for BALLY cabinet designed. Those WERE different from the STERN blades.

Good luck. I believe it really brightens the pin playfields with the added mirror reflection on the inside compared to the flat black cabinet paint showing.

I’d love a set for DM, but I know hinge bolt are different and I don’t want to modify a set. Anyone have experience here?
