    Many parts vendors sell flipper rebuild kits. Are these kits all the same quality, fit & finish? Are complete kits from one as complete as another? I realize mini-kits have less components.

    I typically buy from PBR as I have Gottlieb EMs; but now I have a Williams EM and while at Pintastic I bought a Bally EM. While picking up a backglass from Mayfair while at Pintastic I noticed that they had rebuild kits so I picked one up and that lead me to the topic question: are any better than others?

    PBR's is $62 plus post, Mayfair was $69 so pricing fairly equivalent but are the pieces? Like with so many things, are all the vendors with rebuild kits buying parts from only one or two suppliers and bagging a kit? Would make sense if folk resell PBR kits for Gottliebs but what about Williams/Bally. Are there good, better, best?
