I have just re-connected with my first love ... BSD!

The example I purchased this weekend came from Vermont via Boston and is simply beautiful.
Perfect cab, SP playfield, LEDs, etc.

The only thing missing is the lightning flippers.

Does anyone know where they can be bought currently?
I remember hearing a certain color were bad repros and break easily....

Thanks in advance!

Check Pinballlife, MAD Amusements or Marcos. One of those if not all will have it.

But I would recommend not bother and try to find some original ones. The repros break very easy. Some had them break within weeks and sometimes months but they do break. Just put out some want to buys here, RGP and Pinside for originals and I am sure someone will have them.

Thanks guys, but the more I read the more I'm thinking I'll just stick with standard flips.

Also, I just realized that playing BSD is like riding a bike; you really don't forget how to make it move.

Haven't played much more than a dozen games and already cracked the previous owners score
(he actually is pretty good at pinball and is competing in pinburgh)

The proof is in the (blood) pudding. Man I love this game.

Thanks Jason.
This game is up there with TRON as my all time favs.

AND pirate Barake just hooked me up with NOS lightning flippers.
I'll install them with the proto slings as soon as I see yellowmustard!

My collection is complete .... for now. :lol:
