    You beat me to it, Hammerhead. I was just going to say that you can be thankful your not from Canada when ordering. I just placed a small order of parts like switches, posts, a manual and a couple mini flipper kits. The $240US turns into $380CAD when all the bleeding stops. What you gonna do...play it with things that don't work or pay the bucks and get it working so it doesn't annoy the crap out of you every time you play it?? Nevermind blinging it out...I gave up on that long ago...I'd have to mortgage the house if I wanted to do that.

    Quoted from smokedog:

    I place my Marco orders through Starburst. Shipping from TO is a lot cheaper.

    I tried this Smoke. Last month they said with the US dollar they don't do that anymore. They told me to order from Marco directly. Bummer, they were able to accommodate me last year but I guess it's more of a hassle for them now...or something?? Nitro told me the same thing and I ordered from them last year as well....grrrr.

    I just discovered PinballMedic.ca is in business. These guys look really good and the prices are generally cheaper once you factor in shipping and duty from the US. I think I can get my meat and potatoes from these guys and the unique stuff from PBR, Marco or PinballLife.
