You want to send a check to PBR?
Most people send an electronic check from their bank account. No big deal, quick as a credit card payment from your phone.

Love Steve and PBR, but getting concerned that many EM common parts are out and told won’t be made again.
I have received only one type of spring in the last half dozen or more requested. Unless you have one to send to a spring former to review you are probably out of luck getting it made.

Quoted from Electrocute:Ordered a couple things from Pinball resource today. Don’t know how much I spent, guess I’ll know once I get the invoice. It is different.
Probably a lot less that what others would charge you.

Quoted from Mathazar:Monday was a US holiday so email may have been a bit backed up. I emailed on Saturday looking for a part and got a reply yesterday from Lou. Sadly, PBR doesn't have one.
I've posted in a few other threads looking for this including the "EM looking for parts" thread, so I'll post it here in the hopes someone maybe could help me. I'd try to make my own but I don't have any skills or tools (other than a dremel) to work with metal:
Bally Part #P-2289-1 "End Plate On/Off Switch". I'm restoring a 1976 EM Night Rider but this part can also be found on a bunch of other late Bally EMs and early Bally solid states.
I've tried Marco's, Action Pinball, PBL, PBR, and Planetary Pinball. All are either Out of Stock, Discontinued, or don't show any listings at all. [quoted image][quoted image]
I make metal parts like this with 1/8” aluminum plate. Easily cuts with new wood circular blades on chopsaw. I shape closely with a scroll saw ( 40+ TPI blade) and a bench sander to smooth out in literally seconds. Drills fine and finally clean with some 220 sand paper. Make that part in less than an hour, look perfect and never corrode.
I had to remake some parts on an 50’s arcade game to replace some jerryrigged replacement parts that PBR don’t stock if ever.
