Could you take a look at the connectors/switches closely on both sides of them and see if there is any sort of manufacturer's name and/or model #?  Any printed information that is on them would be helpful in tracking them down.

IMHO CoblatFlux pads are the best metal pads around.  Don't get me wrong... they are also some of the most expensive $300 (unless you go for the real thing).   Their web site is pretty lame when it comes to pictures, but the pads are routinely sited for authentic feel and excellent craftsmanship.

Definately not for everyone, but I think they'll outlast anything else out there (expect the originals) and give an authentic experience.

Their web site: http://www.cobaltflux.com/products_cobalt.htm

Links to videos of people using them (totally insane worth a look even if you don't like DDR) http://www.cobaltflux.com/media_cobalt.htm

Someone posted a link to a website that sells DDR Arcade machine replacement/repair parts and I think a brand new authentic arcade pad isn't much more than $300.  It was $350 if I recall correctly.

Those CobaltFlux pads look really good, but if the price diff is only $50 I'd go for the arcade ones personally.

cobalt flux pads are the best non authentic pads you can buy, but homemade pads with some care and effort used in the making are equal if not better, not to mention cost 1/3 of the price. my friend made some awesome home pads on a nice THICK arcade like platform cost him mayve 250 for both pads with a bar and everything. and it plays just like the arcade. I own a MyMyBox pad i got off ebay about 2 years ago before there was a market for this stuff, DDR was just coming to the states. and back then it was probably one of the best pads and it still plays awesome after 2 years. So I can vouch for MyMyBox they make quality pads that can still AA songs after 2 years of heavy use

Seph, did you take a look at those contacts under the pad like I was asking about a couple posts up?
