A couple who have websites are (and just because they don't have them online doesn't mean they don't have them, so make sure you ring or e-mail them):

Guess they are a bit crap - but im looking for something Australian made I spose, just trying to buy as local as possible. Anyone who knows Australian vendors or Australian made products, feel free to enlighten me. I already know of Oz-stick (bit too pricey), Arcade Gaming Australia and clasicgames.com.au.

I got some MCAs (top-fires) off www.trademe.co.nz. The seem to come up semi-regularly so may be worth keeping an eye out. Two top-fires cost my $25 inc. shipping. Shipping to Oz may cost a little more but shouldn't be too bad.

Cool, great to see another Mighty Don's supporter on the board. What do you think of the idea earlier of an all black cab with black control's with a red CP overlay?
Cheers for the site, i'll keep my eye's open . . .

I have a black-painted cab with a red metal control panel. To be honest, I think the CP stands out like a sore thumb. I would prefer a black CP with red balltops and buttons. I'll try to post a pic of the cab tomorrow so you can see what I mean. Who knows, maybe its personal taste and you'll love it.
I am starting a bartop cab that will have the highly original name of BomberCade. I'm hoping that someone with more artistic talent than me (99% of the population) might be able to convert the bombers logo to vector. Then this could be used as the sideart and also fit somewhere on the CP and marquee. I haven't thought much further ahead, as the project is currently a pile of components sitting in the corner of my lounge. But as usual the mind is racing lightyears ahead of the body...
So where are you from? Melb?

Nah, im from Wagga, but barack for the right code of footy.
Just checked out that site you mentioned, and they have some on there, in a cholce of three colours. Dont like the "give us $10 before you can bid" idea though. I bid on Ebay a lot and there's nothing like that. You have to give the seller the cash before they send the item, so whats the $10 bollocks for? They say to "pay any fee incurred", but it sounds like a cash grab to me. Undecided if i'll bid or not - ends saturday.
Yeah, would love to see a pic of your cab, as for the logo, I did a Diploma of Interactive Multimedia at Uni and my little bro programs games, so between us we should be able to come up with something. But he's a Magpies support, so not sure if he will ;D
