Replacement Rubber Set for Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a 1978 electromechanical pinball machine from Gottlieb. Our complete rubber ring kit gives it the refresh it needs — every playfield rubber replaced with Eh⁺ silicone that won’t crack, fade, or lose bounce.
Accuracy matters. This Close Encounters of the Third Kind kit was built by cross-referencing Gottlieb’s official manual with multiple independent sources. We’ve corrected known manual errors and confirmed every rubber size, so what arrives matches what your machine actually needs.
Full Kit Contents
Every rubber on the Close Encounters of the Third Kind playfield — rings, post sleeves, post rubbers, flippers, and shooter tip — replaced with premium silicone.
Premium Eh⁺ Silicone
Standard rubber breaks down over time — it cracks, hardens, and leaves residue on the playfield. Eh⁺ silicone doesn’t. Our custom blend stays flexible, keeps its bounce, and comes in 16 vibrant colours. Built in Canada, shipped fast.
