    If you're looking for generic pinball parts, Terry at Pinball Life is about as good as you're going to get. His prices are the best and he's about the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. Just be aware, with the number of orders he gets in a day, your order normally won't get processed and shipped until the following day.

    However, if you're looking for game specific stuff, they don't get much better than Marco. Marc carries stuff you just can't get anywhere else. And since I do lots of restorations, I love their search engine when searching for a specific game. Even though it will bring up twenty some pages of stuff, I will always find some part I forgot about. They also normally ship same day.

    If you need quick shipping, no one is faster than Rick at BAA. I can place an order late Monday afternoon and it will normally ship same day. It comes from CA to MN and will get here by
    Wednesday.

    I normally don't like to argue who is best. Every supplier has their good and bad points. I'm just happy they're all still here ready to serve my every need.

    I talked with Terry at the Midwest Gaming Classic as I was buying 5 of the adjusters because I have the same problem with them breaking. He's looking into having someone make them out of stainless.

    Quoted from Corny:

    Be careful with that leaf switch adjuster, I got one of those last week and the very FIRST time I used it one of the sides on the adjuster broke off...

    Terry told me he has no plans on carrying game specific stuff. There are enough guys selling this stuff already.

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    I wish PBL would carry a more diverse stock. Seems like I am always ordering from 3 different places. Anyone know if they plan to carry more stuff in the future or is the plan just to stock the essentials for the cheapest price?
    I prefer PBL since they are so close to me I usually get stuff in 2 days. This helps because I am still a noob and often order the wrong part 9just ordered the wrong flipper bushings for my RCT and now I am just sitting here waiting for the correct ones to come in so I can finish putting it all back together.
