Polaris Carbon balls U.K distributor? + Shaker motor by pinsound thoughts?

[Den - aka Wolfgang]

Evening all, I'm looking to buy a new set of Polaris Carbon balls (as I know Carbon balls are better for games with magnets).
As pinball Bazaar are sadly no more, is there anywhere I can buy some from in the u.k?

Only place I can see that even sells balls is Pinball Mania. They have Carbon balls, but not labelled as the Polaris brand (I'm guessing won't be any difference?)

On a different topic, I see that PH sell a "full stern compliant" shaker motor by pinsound, which is £20 cheaper than the official Stern one.
My initial thought is might as well get the official tried and tested one, but does anyone have experience with the pinsound one?

Thanks all

Don't get suckered in by the fake Ninja/Polaris adverts on eBay. They put the name of the ball in the title and in the description they say it's 'like them' devious and fraudulent.

@David retro was trying to obtain them but I think rights shifted over to Pinball Heaven.

Not seen them up for sale yet though.

@philpalmer has all the old Pinball Bazaar stuff.

Pinsound shaker is no different to a stern one. It is a motor with a weight on the end of it.

We sell the stern shakers a nice easy kit to fit good build quality as well
all pinsound products are high quality and they last not had one issue to date with them
They are also fully stern complaint with the upgrade kit to allow for the shaker to be fitted


To add we also sell two types of pinballs currently we have the standard ones and also the pinsound premium chrome ones
We will be looking into getting other brands soon
