The low end pin man must sometimes fabricate a part from cobwebs, carpet remnants and compacted sawdust found in the corners of the shop. Case in point: The always busted arch shaped plastic guide for the rollover switch lane on Sharpshooter. Since this is a Low End demand item and is sometimes used as an obscure form of currency in certain pinball backwaters, decided to mint a few of them.
Scanned the original and went to CorelDraw (no fancy boy AI for the LEP man) and extrapolated the missing area. A complete boomerang hasn't been sighted since 1982 or so, so I dare you to prove me wrong. I made it a little bit longer than it probably was so it can be sanded to size if adjustment is needed.
Made a wood pattern from the paper. Rough cut on the bandsaw then sanded to the line.
Attached the wood pattern to a board and set it up to allow clamping of the plexi off to the side. no room to clamp the workpiece itself on this small part. that liquid on the piece is the sweat off the LEP Man's brow. Don't worry, I cleaned these with naptha.
Rough Routed piece. Had to carefully select the last part routed since it is no longer clamped during the final cut.
After sanding the edges up to 800 grit, laying out and drilling the holes with a sharp bit, these are ready to go.
One is for me, One's promised to PBJ, one's for anyone who needs it. If you want to best match the original you can add a decal for the part number and breath 32 years of nicotine on it.
