Hey all,

  I need a few minor parts to finish the Playboy, like pop bumper aprons, flippers, light sockets for the pop bumpers, etc... and I really don't feel like ordering through MarcoSpec as it is a bit long.

Would Starburst have some of these parts? How is their service? Worth it?

Odd as it sounds, I have been in the hobby for years and never bought any parts there... last time I was there, I was at the counter and in their showrrom for 15 minutes and saw no one. I almost felt like taking the Shadow pin in the showroom at the time and just leave with it... I would have had the time to do it.  

Comments, anyone?

If it's anything like Toronto you will find they have some parts for new Stern machines and just the common replacement components for older machines. Bulbs, sleeves a few coils etc. In Toronto on a typical visit they would have aprons for WPC but color selection is limited and you may not get three the same... get the picture?

Last time,  MTL Starburst didn't have any balls to sell... and I waited more than 10min to see someone... unless you touch one of the stern, they will take time to answer simple question They have many boxes of part in the back, maybe if you lucky...

...I was thinking of ordering a crapload of parts to do all my machines, but I figured that for that, my best bet (and cheapest) would be Allentown.

Same here... stood at the parts counter for about 5 minutes. Employees just looked at me standing there until one of them reluctantly asked if I needed something
