Railways Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) We now have to offer rails done in shiny BA finish to suit System 3 like CBW and the like. Only have the nailed version at present with the holes slightly off set like our other ones to allow new nails to go into fresh wood. Thanks to the guys for the input and the 1st batch sold that quick I didn't get around to listing them here on Railways $50 a pair Edited August 13, 2016 by Railways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamo54 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Picked up some sets of these rails from Jeff. Having been presented a number of certificates for DIY incompetency I approached the task with a little trepidation. However I can now bore you with the details of my success. These rails are perfect they fall into place the flipper and bolt holes are exactly where they should be and with the offset nail holes they are a easy to fit. I have included a photo of my comprehensive tool kit. The narrow chisel works well to loosen the nails and then you just pull them out. I found using the smaller hammer made me more confident and then finished them off with a 5ml nail punch too easy. As always anything new makes everything else look crap so buy some new flipper buttons with your nails and either buff up the bolts or buy new ones. I also cleaned up the rail at the back of the glass with the drill and wire brush and as it was so badly pitted sprayed it with Hammertone and it looks great. Photos don't do justice to how good they look......Dave's Wipeout shows the reflection from the Revenge from Mars next to it. The Big Hurt shows my fence I think. If you have a Gottlieb with crap rails do yourself a favour and get on to Jeff [ATTACH=CONFIG]29406[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]29407[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]29408[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]29409[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]29410[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]63847[/ATTACH]Thanks Jase for the nice words mate, glad you're happy with them:). We've actually sent a couple of prototypes of a No- nails version to The Pinball Shed for evaluation by Tony and the fellas. I'll wait and see what he thinks then might add them permanently to our stock list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fir3b0x Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Received some of Jeff's rails last week, and finally got them installed today. You really don't realise just how crappy the old rails were until you see these on. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/15/e5c448d5bc63d873351e268f02013a32.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/15/92825bf082032d787d509f62025482e1.jpg Thanks Jeff, I'm really happy with these. I recommend anyone with a sys3 getting some! [emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
