Mad Amusements is $159US plus shipping.

Caveat with this seller: Pay with paypal/credit card.

I would suggest you do a search about MAD Amusements before you even look on their website.  the small amount of money you save isn't worth the hassle and wait dealing with them.

As always, check with RTBB first and then if they don't have them, I would recommend Pinball Life providing his shipping charges haven't increased.  The last time I looked, the shipping had gone up considerably whereas marco Specs are now shipping through iGlobal which is much cheaper than their previous rates but it the cheap postage isn't a quick service.

If you have not set a account with Mike ( Mad Amusements) it will take a little bit of time .

Read his requirements first before purchasing ...

Freight will be $45 from items under 3 ounces or grams ( i think ?) just not 100% sure
if not it will be $60

I gave him a bagging when i first tried to purchased (Jumped on the ban wagon at the time )...
and then i retracted what i said..

And then when i had things set up with Mike i have not had a problem since .

The only thing is that if you need it like now try someone else.

Not quite sure I understand that reasoning when it will more than likely still work out cheaper buying a display from someone like Pinball Life or Marco Specs if Greg doesn't have any.  If you want one in a few days then fair enough, if it isn't urgent then do the sums first.  It is also a good opportunity to buy anything else from their stores and combine the shipping cost.

+1 on the advice ...

as there are other items that you can acquire that are not available in AU

Cash saved can be spent on more pins or pin bits  *%*

RTBB does not stock the DMD displays.

They basically come from the same supplier. Pinballlife are great to deal with. I buy my displays from PBR or Pinballlife. Much cheaper if you are prepared to wait 10 days.

My DMD is still working but it takes a few moments to warm up, I am not in a rush to get one but a spare would be handy to have.

If it is taking a while to warm up it won't be doing your boards any favours.  Bite the bullet and just replace it.

Out-gassed and at the end of it's useful life. Bite the bullet and grab one from Pinballlife.

Pinballife great to deal with,

and generally refund part postage from their website calculation if they can package it smaller,

Dmd will probably be light but in a reasonably large box with Styrofoam protection Im guessing..

Pity they don't do a colour one for Getaway that would be cool *%*
