Talk:Pinball Parts Suppliers
This page is sort of difficult to fully populate accurately. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
The biggest problem comes in the "Specialty" column of the table.
For example, there are several retailers listed as "All things pinball" or "general" that also have specialties. Pinball Resource sells most any part you need for any pinball, and so would fall under this "general" specialty. But they also maintain Gottlieb parts reproduction rights and are the only place to get many Gottlieb specific parts. If their specialty is listed as "Gottlieb reproduction parts" instead of "general" it appears that they only deal in the Gottlieb parts. Listing out all the specialties for all the suppliers however would make the table too large and unruly to read.
What other solutions might work for this page?
My opinion is that they all are pinball parts providers, otherwise they would not be on this list. The word Specialty by definition means they specialize in something. That they're geared toward one thing (or a few) that others aren't. Calling any of them "ALL PINBALL" as a specialty isn't true, there's no one parts provider that truly has it all.
