Marco helped me rescue my STTNG project

I've had a bunch of parts orders go sideways elsewhere but Marco came through for my Star Trek: The Next Generation build with zero issues. My cousin recommended them after he got his White Water back in shape using their kits. They knew exactly what flipper assemblies I was missing and shipped out quick! Anyone using aftermarket coils from other vendors and comparing results?
 
I'd go straight to the point, stick with Marco or Pinball Life
My cousin actually mentioned Pinball Life too but I haven't ordered from them yet. Between Marco and PL, have you noticed any differences in coil strength or durability over time? I'm dialing in the flippers on the STTNG and thinking of swapping a few coils next month, so now's a good time to test a new vendor if there's a clear winner.
 
I'll say it, aftermarket coils are hit-or-miss and half of em fry faster than a Waffle House grill. Unless it's OEM or from Marco, you're gambling with your machine's lifespan, period

I'll hold off on experimenting for now and stick with Marco for the next round. Have you had any luck reviving weak coils with fresh sleeves or is replacement the only real fix?
