LOL- never let the truth get in the way of a good story eh?
A few years back i bought a milk crate full of EM parts off Ebay from what i now know is Tony from the Pinball Shed.
Paid $50 and got about 30 coils, complete drop target mechs, score wheels and mechs etc, Ive been using these to fix a few pins and still have a heap of stuff left from the original buy.
Could have sworn this auction would end at around $20!
Oh well - there ya go
