+1 I have been stupid to buy from others thinking the part was the same and presto a load of shit and untold problems. I wish people would display actual photos of their parts. Found this os as well especially with repro plastics. Picture shows true colours and you get something else.
Oh don't start me on photos Rob, eBay is the worst for that. 18 months ago I was back and forward with a person on their Bride of Pinbot, the original photos weren't that sharp but when I asked for some more specific pictures they were happy to oblige. These photos looked great and I was ready to pick it up when it was pointed out to me by someone else that the floor in one of the photos was different. When I asked again if the pictures were of the actual machine I was told that they'd had 3 of these machines in the past and these were pictures were from one of them. Turns out the one they had for sale was an absolute turkey. All ended well though 12 months later I brought a BoP in great nick from another member here.
Also speaking of dodgy pictures ,have a look at the two strikes and spares machines this guy in the US has for sale. Two adds, two prices, one set of pics. Who would know if either are actually of the machine you'd be getting.
