Quoted from ForceFlow:

I've noticed some minor differences between PBR's and PBL's WPC crank & link assemblies. Not enough to affect functionality from what I can tell, but enough to present a minor visual difference.
PBR:

PBL:

Those would be some minor differences alright. They are the same exact part from the same exact manufacturer.

Quoted from GLSP3022:

I purchased some Data East logo flippers from PBL and same thing. Logo isn't crisp and flashing around the bottom edge. But better than what I took out.

Please post a picture of the uncrisp logo. All the DE bats we have here are very crisp.

Rick from Planetary Pinball in control of all parts with a Williams "W" on them. He owns the rights.

Wms used 2 different logos over the years. Up until No Fear they used a thinner W and it faced one way. The then went to a fatter W and it faced the other way. Local USA vendors made these bats.

The bats we are now buying (and everyone will be buying once their supply runs out) have to flow through Planetary Pinball originally. These bats are not made from the original tooling, and I assume they are not made by the original manufacturer either, but I have no way of knowing this for sure.

We have no control over the quality or the manufacturing source at this point.

Terry.
