Thanks for the feedback, Andy. Much appreciated.
For years I've been ordering from GPE, and Ed's method of packaging items professionally has rubbed off on me. Greg never packaged anything for me as it was always a good excuse for us to catch up. But I'm using his custom made boxes etc..
The brackets - Yes - I've been advised as to where they came from. Suffice to say that when you attempt to make inferior "copies", then quality is compromised. There are other good examples of "copied" products sold by sellers, that ironically, are more expensive than the originals purchased by Greg and sold through RTBB. That's why I've always used original parts. You can't compromise quality on restoration work. These are YOUR games that you worked hard to own and you should be able to at least have some level of quality and service.
