I agree.Parts are a bigger problem than they should be these days.
The problems are due to all kinds of things.
Losing Pinball Inc has proven to be a bigger problem than was forecasted.
The latest rerun of most "liscensed" parts is lower quality. This would be things like misaligned hole and horrible art reinterpretations as well as fragile easily scratched screen printing.
Check these TAF slings for example.Original on the left liscensed on the right.
