Links
When I sell a machine or talk with someone, I always provide a list of useful links. There are many places to buy parts. The standard parts I usually buy from Steve at Pinball Resource. However, game-specific parts are usually found at other sites. I will always check out all the sites when I am buying and find the best overall price for the order I need. Part prices can vary significantly. Here they are so I don't need to repeat them:
