Where's the best place to buy balls from? Usually I get them from Terry at Pinball Life, but the last batch that I had didn't look so good (had some dings in them). In fairness, he offered to replace them if I sent them back to him, but I was just wondering if there's a solid alternative. I need balls that won't get magnetized as the machine I have has magnets in them. Thanks.
I still prefer PL's Ultra-Gloss (carbon core) for anything with a magnet ...
Terry is great to deal with, if they are dinged just send them back.
I have had the Silverjets from Marco before, they work fine as well.
Just give them a tumble every three to six months (depending on play) to bring them back to "like new" condition.
This will last you a good while!

And this one's not too bad, solid lid too! Or the other RCBS one for that matter either (it is just gets a little dustier)

Use a little bit of this mixed in with the media.
