Just wanted to start a general discussion about the quality of replacement parts. Obviously replacement parts are the life blood of keeping pinballs going or restoring them to their former glory, but I have been shocked over my 18 months in the hobby at the huge variance in quality. I am currently on my fifth restore so it's fair to say I have had to ordered a quite a lot of parts. The quality of many have been amazing and as good as the original parts or in some cases better, but unfortunately some have been shockingly bad! I am amazed at how many times I have had to re-order parts to get a part of the right quality.
Please respect this is not meant to name or shame anyone, but more just to understand others experience. An example I have just ordered a couple of plastics for my Indiana Jones from a respected European site and one was great with perfect colour match and the other was just awful (blurry and really poor colour match). So it's not even as simple as sticking to using the respected sites.
