We believe the long term reliability of our replacement boards is best served by using top name component manufacturers through reliable suppliers.\u00a0 We trust our customers will support our efforts to provide the highest quality parts.<\/p>\n<p>Tangles&#8217; Pin Parts (TPP) are manufactured in Australia. Each board undergoes stringent quality control and a full system test.
