T61 hinge source

#1 Post by blank001 » Mon Jul 14, 2014 1:19 am

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good source for new genuine T61 hinges? Ebay has knock offs and wobbly hinges drive me nuts. Thanks

All I can suggest is: purchase from a USA or European seller, those might be considerably more expensive, but much more reliable than the fakes from Asia

Bought these about a month ago and they are definately genuine. Casting quality is great, and they have not become wobbly yet.

Edit: those are for T60s, sorry
