PoTD Post Diverter


Gave this PoTD Post Diverter Target a try, took me half a minute to fit.

Saw a solution posted on RGP of tapping out a $0.75 clear post and then using an #6-32 threaded rod.  Just wanted to see how it played, so did this mod instead with parts on hand. Removed one screw and intalled a new # 6-32 MS metal post with a black post bead on it. Done. Will try some games with the post there for a while, and then decide if it's a good solution.

Ingredients: Metal 6-32 MS threaded post, black post bead 7/16" OD. You need to use a # 6-32 MS threaded post to replace the screw at the end of the PoTD. That's what I did here.

To get a perfect look, use a threaded rod (cut down a 6-32 screw) and a mini-jewel clear plastic post ($0.75 from "Pinball Life" see parts links page). Stern ref is #550-5052-01.
So far, I like that it doesn't divert every ball to the wireform.
