There are a few UK guys here, but the 2nd-hand market doesn't seem to exist.

Yes its hard enough getting hold of the bits and peices in the first place over here....

You can usually pick up joysticks and buttons off ebay quite cheap, other bits are hard to come buy. Also you can often find an old control panel with buttons/joysticks intact....

To be honest, the type of stuff people will occaisonally have spare (buttons/the odd joystick) are actually pretty cheap. I threw together a list of suppliers a year ago here: http://www.silverfoxy.plus.com/UKinfo.html
Its slightly out of date (mainly that HAPP UK won't help you now).Some are international but will ship to the UK. I found that several items were cheaper to get shipped from the US.

I got a lot of parts off Happ, but now they've 'merged' with Suzo I don't think they do small orders anymore.

Ultimarc (maker of IPAC) is UK based, and sells buttons/joysticks and stuff, and theres a couple of others. Swallow Amusments sell new and 2nd parts.

Dream Arcades ships to the UK. You'll need to e-mail us for a custom shipping quote. Go to: www.dreamarcades.com/parts/
Pick out what you want and e-mail a list to: support@dreamarcades.com. We'll give you a price quote for airmail to the Uk. We usually ship international packages twice a week.

Hi guys, remembered this thread.

I've listed a Happ 3" trackball on Ebay UK here (available to Europe also).

Almost impossible to find here, so if you need one check it out.
