    Hi! I ordered a set of side rails a while ago from Pinball Center. If I had known about their reputation in quality I would have ordered it somewhere else, but I didn’t. Now that I took a closer look at them I realized the brushing is vertical compared to the original (see attached photo). I am kind of a purist (don’t see pinballs as christmas trees) so I find this unacceptable. I also don’t like the laser cut appearance but think I can live eith that. Now I need to get a set somewhere else (in europe, due to shipping) and I wonder if someone knows where they have ones with the brushing in the right direction? Has anyone tried those from bestofbinball.de?

    How many different manufacturers are there of these kind of things? I wouldn’t have guessed ther were a market for a whole lot.

    Chris (HEP) did a little rail review in his thread, thought Pinball Life had good rails:

    Thank you. Mine are standard WPC rails though, would be interesting to hear if anyone knows any specifics about them. Also, I want to buy from a european store as I said, since shipping thise overseas is horribly expensive.
