Anyone ordering from Marcospecialties?

Anyone ordering from Marcospecialties in the near future - after 2 x  Bally KKN332 Relay coils.
This is the only place I can source them.
$7.95 US dollars each - Can afford this.
FREIGHT - $45 US dollars - OUCH !!!!

The last couple of small orders I did from Marco quoted $39.95 when I placed the order but then I received an amended order a few days later adjusting the shipping down to $15.

Just received a return email.
Hi-
As of the first of the year, USPS and FedEx rates have increased.  We have no choice but to charge what is quoting on our website.  Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.

I have had to order a few bits from them also , the last 2 boxes I have recieved i have been charged $62.06 US above what the postage states on the box.  I have emailed them and asked why ?, sure I can handle a small packing fee  or for buying boxes and tape  but to me thats too much.

My wife bought a bible from US & postage was $15 US - Weight of bible equivalant to 10 coils I reckon, maybe they are hurting with the economy problem & need to make a profit through the freight cost.
Problem I have,they are the only supplier I can source these coils from - Looks like the Bally will lay dormant till the dollar goes up. Good excuse to get my 2nd pin !

Thanks Millsy

Millsy,

You might not need to be so specific with these coils - the KKN336 has a resistance of 85ohms or something.

The KKN332 will be similar.

What happens a lot with old EM's is to get them running etc correct coil may not have been available - hence the inline series resistors you find in these old games - changes your coil value.

Below is a pic of some old bally stuff - the resistance on the coils is 5ohms but you can put an inline resistor in there to approx 70ohms or a potentiometer and adjust to correct setting.

The credit wheel is in the pic also, but if you want some of this stuff, let me know and ill package it up for you

[millsy]

Thanks Retropin,
That makes sense - explains why a resistor is wired over my tilt relay.
The credit wheel & 2 coils would be much appreciated.

Done mate.

Ive included the centre screw for the wheel - do you need the spindle also??

[millsy]

This is what i have.
Thanks Millsy

[Retropin]

Ok - you have everything there apart from the wheel.
I know ive been slack getting this to you Millsy, but it all worked out in the end cos the coils are in the package too.

[millsy]

Thanks again.Dont forget to PM me the postage cost.
