I found him selling new Apple hinges on ebay, at the time (Sept.), $49 for left or right or add $30 for both. For about $91 including shipping (to USA), my Wallstreet now has new Apple hinges. And he's located in Canada. By the way, the hinges came in sealed and stickered Apple packaging. They are not upgraded hinges, but the price is right for another 3 to 5 (?) years of service.

That's very reassuring to hear. I had planned to send my wallstreet in for
the hinge upgrade, thinking that for $10 more than the stock hinges it was
a great deal. Sadly even though it is only $79 for the hinges and
installation, they quoted me $86 (about $116 Canadian) for the return
shipping (One way!) to BC Canada. There policy of not being willing to sell
the hinges without installing them makes it very expensive for us folks up
north. After exchange and shipping both ways it comes to over $250 Canadian.
I'm sure they have a good reason for it, but I'm still pouting - and hingeless! ;)

I, too, just want to report a positive experience with PBParts.com
I also had a failing hinge on my Wall Street PB and the latch was not catching either. I chose their hinges over Apple's for $10 extra. I sent them the PB on Monday and got it back yesterday.
Service and work was professional throughout
I also want to report good service and vibes from PBParts. I've used them
several times and always with positive results.
