Damien - Steve is VERY good and offers some parts at exceptional pricing. I've been buying from him for 8 years, and never once had a problem.

What you could do is order as much as you can from our local sponsors - who do stock some Gottlieb parts.

For game specific - go to PBR.

I have been collecting and restoring pins for 32 years and PBR is THE ONLY PLACE I buy my parts, even with the dollar the way it is

Well once the first order is done (yes that is a pain in the proverbial) you've got an account and you get your order in about a week (usually the next friday for some reason). Pretty good service after that!

They even corrected me when i ordered the wrong coloured lane guide plastic which i appreciated.

Wow, that is loyalty!

The parts I have wanted to date are pretty generic so I went to the nearest place that lets you pick up what you want (MarkC).

Ive never ordered from PBR. Ive never really needed anything that bad but the process to placing the first order did scare me off a little so once i've ordered once it should be smooth sailing? (If that's correct ill be single in a month lol)

The only 'hassle' with them is having to pay via an International Money Order which is available from any Post Office.

Look I'm not trying to rub the sponsers of AP the wrong way - but you can't match 10 millions parts in stock.

I spend about AUS$250 - $300 per month on parts from PBR  *%*

I love PBR - I actually enjoy the fact that I need to take care in ordering parts - made me learn how to read manuals and schematics! Their prices are great, once you have an account they send you the stuff with an invoice to pay **after** receipt. OK, not as 21st century as many on line places (our own RTTB and PSB have way more modern web sites), but they have a **lot**. But do try RTTB and PSP first these days - good inventory that seems to be expanding all the time, so now my first choice, followed by PBR.
