Ready to go Where to buy parts?
« on: April 01, 2004, 11:29:00 am »
Hi
I got my new cab yesterday! its in great shape.. I am going to order the parts... Need some advice.. I am in Canada and want a good price for NEW stuff.. wondering if anyone can advice where to purchase from? I havent decided on joystick was thinking the t-stick plus.. any suggestions?

I need black buttons, blue, a few red, maybe coin and one and 2 player buttons... i do need a trackball and interface for it. I do have a Ipac now I think I may use but may get a new one..... any suggestions let me know I as considering Ulitimarc but seems costly in CANADIAN ffunds. anyone recall the site that sells CHROME joysticks?

There's usually some good deals on ebay for buttons and happ sticks. The trackballs are pretty pricey new, so I ordered a used one from peale (thread on this page). I plan on doing a mouse hack with an old mouse i have laying around to save on the opti-pac. You can get the chrome stick from slik-stik.( http://www.slikstik.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=6 ) They are pretty exspensive also however. good luck!

Get all your new buttons from Dave at Starburst Coins in mississauga--It's the same prices as happs but without shipping and customs--you still have to pay good old taxes though :P  as far as joysticks--go ebay or talk to pete from canada coin in brantford--I know he has joysticks and buttons.
its better to not post and be thought a fool, then to whip out your keyboard and remove all doubt...

I bought a trackball from Peale too. Works as good as a new one at a hefty discount.

Hi

The T-Slik Pluses are back in stock.  As I got a email from Andy saying my order will be shipped tomorrow.

I'm from Canada too.  I've purchased many things from many vendors over the past 2 years. Here's the breakdown:

- 4 trackballs - Purchased from a local vendor - Peale has a good price on these
- 2 Midway Yoke sticks- local vendor

- 4 T-Slik Plus - Ultimarc  
- IPAC4 - Ultimarc

- 4 Competition Joysticks - Starburst Coins in Toronto
- All of my buttons - Starburst Coins in Toronto
- Trackball mount  - Starburst Coins in Toronto

- 2 Top fire joysticks - Ebay
- 2 Super 8/4 way joysticks - Ebay
- 2 Pole Position wheels - Ebay


So you can see there's various places to purchase the items.  Do your research into what buy.  You can buy most of joysticks & buttons from Starburst Coins in Toronto.  

But you cannot purchase an interface board from Starburst.  Your probably going to purchase this from Ultimarc or groovygamer.  Not familar with the Keywiz from groovygamer but the IPAC is excellent and very easy to use.

Post any of your questions hear and someone will be able to answer you.

Good Luck & have fun!
