So I've been waiting for Pinscore displays for my Pin Bot game but the Marco Specialties site said they were out of stock until "late may". And then June came and they changed it to "early June". So I signed up to be notified when they became available.

It's now closer to mid-June and I haven't heard back so I went to check their web site but it's not working for me. Anyone else having trouble with their web site tonight or is it just something wrong on my end?

All of the parts places have been out of these things for a while due to the quake in Japan so I'm hoping they are out now.
 
I know it's not a direct answer to your question, but K's Arcade appears to still have them in stock at $200.

I put new Pinscores in my Pinbot a couple months ago. All the "usual" suspects were out of stock and I found K's. Perfect transaction, received them in 2 days. So if you are really looking to buy them (and aren't dedicated to Marco) you might try this.

Cool find. Thank you...I've been searching for these! I'm not dedicated to Marco by any means.

K's Arcade is out of them as well. Their page says in stock but when I called them they said the expect them "real soon now". Just like everyone else.
 
I just hope they get them in by the end of July. I want a set for my Pinbot too, and we have a big block party the last Saturday of July, I want to have all my working games out for everybody to play.
 
I've not called them in probably 7 or 8 years... I typically just send an email with my list, and have consistently gotten very quick responses and turnarounds to any/all questions, and my orders have shipped quickly as well. If email was too slow, or I wasn't getting good responses I'd tried calling, but have never felt the need since email's worked so well...


Steve is an asset, but he needs to have someone with a little more patience answering the phone. I go to him as a last resort. Give me Marco anyday.

i have always used steve because when i first started getting into pinball machines (1996) he was very helpful over the telephone. i was THAT GUY in 1996 calling saying "yes i need one of those thingys....ummm round sorta looks like this....ummmmmm" and he would tell me what it is and was very knowledgeable. he also helped tell me a short backround/ whether a game was good or not when i would find them....(LONG before the days of me owning a price list/guide or having any sort of internet connection in this home, or pinball knowledge at all)

i dont think i ever called marco for parts.....

i did one time use doctor pinball from ROMANIA for a translite that is not allowed to be produced in america (so i am told) for a creature from the black lagoon and i was very happy with it and would reccommend them.
