DAD

Does anybody want to go in with me and buy from the factory in China? I've actually been to the factory myself about six months ago. Prices range from .28 to .32 for the basic and around .75 for the flex. I thought about selling retail but I don't have the time. I have 18 machines myself to deck out. Minimums are 100pc per item. I can easily hit the MOQ with white but I cannot hit it on the more specialized colors/types. So if anyone wants to go in with me, shoot me an email, we'll aggregate the orders in a week or so. Please don't email me for a small order-- there are several wonderful sources for small orders. I'm looking for folks with large collections who can help me purchase moq of 100 per item when we gang them together.

Thanks,
JZ

I'd like to go in on some money saving order,

But you do know that excellent LEDs are already .27 cents from Pinball Life right?

These are for a known, quality product, with an easy replacement guarantee.

Yeah, but PBL's frosted bulbs stink, and they have been having issues keeping warm white bulbs in anything in stock. It's annoying.

I need 100 warm white frosted 44's, of the CT style white-dome.. I don't care if they're 2-LED or 1 super inside or what.

Anyone else vouch for this guy? Sorry man, 300 karma.. only 3 posts in 1 month...kinda gotta ask before I'd be willing to pay up front..

Thanks Marvin.

Yeah, I'm very new to pinside but had been posting on RGP for many many years. While I truly have been to the factory I honestly don't know if these are the ones carried by PBL or CT or whomever. I need to do more research and report back.

I have some at my home in Cleveland if anyone near me wants to come and pick up to help me determine the spec on these.

That's not the OP's lights, they are someone else's who cracked others open to show the differences.

Trolled hard I see, . Anyways, it's all about competition with quality products and great service.

Didn't PBL have LEDs a bit before CT anyways? I am forgetting.
