What is the most you have spent for a part for a pin?
« on: October 20, 2009, 11:31:58 PM »
Just wondering what the most you guys and gals have spent on a part or a set that can't be bought separately (like a set of legs) including postage?
Also what pin did you buy it for and who did you buy them from?

The most i have spent was $305.64 AU (including shipping)
For a set of led displays & display driver board for Pinbot.
From macro specialties.

Big Bang Bar drop target decals - really wanted them, and the only way I could get them was to take the set with the machine attached.

2 X KISS Playfields for AUS$1300 each inc postage from IPB. That was $2600 in one "hit"

I regularly buy playfields and or backglasses from CPR in Canada.

Hmmm Theatre of Magic parts, dig deep into those pockets of yours. Although I spent probably $500 on ramps before they became readily available plus exchange rate was real bad when I bought.

That might have been my most expensive purchase although my all time high woas recently

one Can of 10lt Dulux paint cost me over $2000, it came with a free Revenge from Mars pinball re: Mark C  %.%
