Welcome Slade to Pinside and fellow lovers of EM's
Quoted from Slade:should i just call PBR via phone? has anyone used these guys before?
Oh the adventure begins!
PBR is rock solid old school! Minimal web site, no credit cards - just call and enjoy the experience that is "Steve". The guy is top notch and has (and knows) about anything that is available for a Gottlieb -- and most others.
Call. Set up your account and get a customer number - don't ever forget it. Tell him the game and what you are after. If you do not have a schematic, manual or an appropriate parts catalog - get them on that first call and future calls will be all that much easier as now you have part numbers to give Steve. First order he will send ye out up to $50 merch trusting you to send a check asap after getting your goods. If ye are slow you may be asked to prepay or shop elsewhere. Once you are a known 'reliable' the $50 limit goes away and you get 10% off on orders over $100.
His help and education has allowed me to fix some lost causes. I like to call late in the week after all the weekend pinfixers have called nonstop at the beginnin of the week. I find Steve is a great chat on less stressful days of dealing with all of US.
Cheers
Tom
