I've been searching through the forum here to find where folks are buying bumper rubber kits for Star Wars Episode 1 and Allied Leisure Disco '79 pins, but no luck. I popped a rubber bumper on both games. :( Any recommendations are appreciated for reliable sources. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. My biggest problem is I am not familiar with the exact rubbers that typically go bad on these games. In comparing the following two kits, they have different parts and even the sizes/quanity appear to be different. At the moment, all I need are the bumpers right above the flippers for SW:E1 and the flippers for Disco '79.

I saw some kits on ebay, but those are all black and I want to keep the rubbers the original colors. Thanks for the help.

Here are the white rubber kits from Marco. The pictures show some black rubber but the description says white so you will get white. Some of their rubber kit pictures are just stock photos of pinball rubber. If the slingshot rubbers have actually broken it probably won't hurt to just replace them all.

If you want just the flipper rubber they should be standard 3" flippers on both games using 1-1/2" x 1/2" red flipper rubber.

Alternatively you could buy some bulk rubber from Terry:

Or look at the manuals and put together your own kit from pinball life which will be cheaper than Marco.
 
Cant recall which vendor I last purchased SWEP1 kit from, but the 'white' kit did include 2 black rubbers for the center upper trap. If they are white, they show through the video. I prefer a white kit on this machine. If rubbers are broke, go for a whole new kit. They will bive the ball better bounce, making for a better game, and will give the game a fresh look.
 
Thanks for all the info. I just ordered the two kits from Marco.
