I have never purchased from Top Banana before. From what I was able to determine, Top Banana was a joint venture between a couple of companies, at least one of which was a company founded by a member of the forum.

In discussions with the people at Top Banana, they only buy from the best manufacturers of reproduction parts. Their quality has been supported by other forum members who have purchased parts both before and after the joint venture. So, we will see.

As an aside, I had a discussion with AMD about their parts and was told that the quality of parts in the 73-87 segment are not as good as the 72 and older segment. . . regardless of who manufacturers them.

I suspect there may be some semblance of truth to that assertion, given the enormous amount of parts for the pre-73 group compared to those available to the 73-87 crowd. I suspect "demand dictates quality" in terms of tooling investment, etc.
