Quoted from Pinballer73:gdonovan do you mind sharing the part number, quantity and price for the posts you ordered please?
Not sure what you have in mind but a note of warning: I'm building a Seawitch but it certainly isn't being built to factory spec! Seawitch has zero nut inserts from the factory and I'm converting several locations from wood screw to machine posts so they better can take abuse.

So true!
Love PBR. I've only ever dealt with Jimmy and he was always very knowledgeable and helpful. Just sent another order off.
Quoted from jtreehorn:Jimmy rocks!

“Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Christmas Sale/Holiday Sale 2022
Sale runs [now] until 1/1/2023
Our only sale of the year! We didn't think one day was enough time to get through to us on the phone to order, thus we will be running this combined sale until the first of the year.”
Quoted from jeffc:Check out our 2022 Black Friday Sale
Looks more like a garage sale of misc. crip crap that doesn't sell. But if you need a glossy flyer, there 'ya go.
They are already pretty cheap relative to a lot of the other places, so perhaps they don't have a lot of wiggle room.

Well it has been 931 days but there has been an update!

3/10/2024 Update from http://www.pbresource.com/news.html is:
"Well it has been awhile (!) since I have written something to update PBResource News! So, here is a brief summary:
-we all suffered thru a pandemic (well, that is not really news!)
-pinball is alive and well. The pandemic actually brought people to the hobby and re-invigorated existing pinball people who were stuck at home.
-Jimmy, my web/email/IT person retired
-Lou has taken over email
-we all got older!!
-we changed our billing software (in December as many of you have seen). Where did my customer # go?
-things got (alot) more expensive
I could make this list alot longer, but you all have the picture.
We have struggled with suppliers going out of business, suppliers increasing minimum order quantities (MOQ), materials changes, materials quality changes, you name it, it has happened. Happily much of this has settled down and we have been able to introduce and replace some items that were amongst the missing:
-back in stock Gottlieb D10066A front doors along with all 3 of the standard light-up type coin housings
-new reproduction plastic set C14607+ ($95.40) for HOT SHOT/BIG SHOT/PRO POOL
-in the works and due soon the THIN showshoe Gottlieb step-unit wipers. (Even my secret stash is wiped out.)
-other stuff that shall remain a mystery until it appears, stay tuned.
I will try to make these news updates a little more frequent!
Steve"
Almost makes me want to place an order
even though I have no plans to work on any games in near future
as I still have got loads of stock from years ago.
Actually afraid some of my rubber rings are so old
from just sitting in my parts drawers
and slowly rotting.

With the latest restocking of 31” chrome legs, we also were able to repopulate the Williams front moulding A-18240.
This is a handy piece of hardware as it also fits earlier applications under Williams numbers D-12615 and B-6390.
So, this fits all the way back to mid 1960‘s. Price is nice, too at $63.00. If your bar is missing or beat up, here is an opportunity to solve that issue. These are not always available.
