WTB: Wholesale Sanwa/Seimitsu parts
« on: March 20, 2012, 12:48:50 pm »
Does anyone know a good wholesale supplier for Sanwa and Seimitsu parts? Looking for someone with good pricing and a wide range of joysticks, buttons, ball tops, restrictors, etc.

In which country are you looking to purchase or are you not bothered?

Your cheapest bet would be to get a friend in Japan to pick them up for you

I normally get mine shipped from friends or from http://www.akihabarashop.jp/

https://sites.google.com/site/japandealers/ will also order for you, I would get prices from both of them and compare.

I'm in Canada. I didn't realize Akihabara also did wholesale? Japan Dealer looks interesting.

Maybe a strange question, but are you looking to sell here in Canuckistan ?

If so, are you in the West, where Playdium isn't (I know they sell Sanwa, but know about Semeitsu). have you checked the Canadian coin op boards like cgcc.ca and Maaca.org?

They may not advertise wholesale prices but they may be able to cut you a deal for a large order.

You should also try River Service too http://www.rs2006.co.jp/overseas.htm

I recommend this company. I was pointed at them when I contacted Sanwa direct as we get through a lot of balltops with our arcade coat hooks.

Very friendly and they seem to work around the clock too as I've always had an instant response.

Awesome, thank you!

PS. I've always admired your work on the coffee tables. Brilliant.
