I haven't ordered anything form PBR in a couple years now because I ordered enough of his stuff to last ten years but Steve always used to just send the parts to my house in advance. I didn't have to pay for them until after I received them. Does he still operate that way?

Steve may not want to modernize and go to an online store format but that's by choice. He probably is swamped too but when you go electronic with a modern website and automated check-out with credit cards you can do many times the amount of business with fewer hours per day so I don't think it has anything to do with not enough hours in a day. It's Steve's choice nothing more. I'm sure he has his reasons but not enough hours in a day sure isn't one that would apply to shunning an automated online store setup. I just think Steve is old-school and likes it that way.

PBR is one of the best but so is Marco. The rest fall significantly behind those two as far as product line and inventory goes.

Yeah and you saved $10 whole dollars too!

My point was that PBL or none of the others come even close to the inventory PBR and Marco have.
Not even in the same league.

Both PBR and Marco invest thousands of dollars of their own funds in the manufacture of new parts too. Everyone else primarily just sell parts. In addition, Marco also encourages others to manufacture pinball parts and sells parts from a lot of small manufacturers. A lot of the parts that are available today that we take for granted would not exist if it weren't for PBR and Marco taking the initiative to get them made.

They are talking about PBL not PBR.

I've never used PBL flipper kits but I have used PBR several times and had no problem with them. I prefer the Marco flipper switches though for SS Bally because they more closely resemble the OEM Bally switches.
