Generic Eric:

There used to be a map like this :years gone by:
Not sure if it is still linked on theain page or not.

I'd be interested in seeing that, Eric, just to make sure I'm not re-inventing the wheel. Any more details?


PL1:

There's a fairly up-to-date list of vendors here in the wiki.   :cheers:

No map there, but it uses country codes and there are links to the vendor websites.

LMK if you'd like a link to Arcadia added on the wiki Vendor page.

Thanks PL1. Few UK entries there - so I'll get to transferring them onto the map/database. Lots of US ones, may get round to these in time, or may rely on those to whom it may have more relevance to put them on!

Just to be clear - not my aim to step on anyone's toes.

Just as a UK builder, found that it was a real hunt for things like printers, CNCers and parts/tools. Hence the idea behind the map/database - people can put on any "finds" they make. Currently hoping for that backstreet arcade going into liquidation with Star Wars Yokes; Atari Steering wheels and Tron sticks :)

And sure, would be happy to be added to any lists (although I'm not really a vendor!). I'll put the BYOAC Wiki in the links part of arcadia!
