I have one more place to check for a new one. Doesn't seem like it'd be a bracket that is often damaged etc, so maybe I'll have some luck. I'd rather get a new one than straighten this one, I'm worried that I'd straighten it and the bowl would sit wrong, so I'd rather find a new or used one that is straight and use it and have the original bent beat up one to fall back on.
I am not a fan of black rubber on anything. I don't like the bounce of it, I don't like the dust it drops everywhere, and I like how white brightens up a game. Out of all the games I've ever worked on, I put black on one because that's the kit that I recieved in the mail for it (didn't think to ask for white) and I was in a hurry to reassemble the machine. I've been buying bulk rings for years now, and I don't even get black.
I guess it's a matter of preference.
