I've tried a few payment methods in the past, but nowadays I send cash in a registed, international signed-for envelope, which is automatically insured up to a set value. If the payment is larger than that limit, then I send two lots. A pain in the whatsit whichever, if only they would take Paypal, life would be simpler! But, if you want pukka spares, then thats the place to go!

Then of course, I get another pain once my beloved Government hits me with all the various taxes, import duties, and whatever else they can find to take some more cash out of my pocket........

I was very fortunate to have dinner with Donal Murphy a few years ago in Sydney while he was out here on holidays.

Donal is the guy that makes alot of Steve Youngs parts - especially all the plastic parts. His father owned Electrical Windings who made all the coils and transformers for all the pinball manufactures in the 1940s to 1990s.

I asked Donal why PBR didn't take VISA etc as payment and he said if they did they would need to raise their prices slightly and they didn't want to do that.

Still - sending an International Money Order off via Airmail is no big deal. Still the only place to buy pinball parts for vintage games
