Depends on what you are looking for... In austin there are a couple of operators that might be willing to sell you spare parts.. But it won't be cheap...

these guys are in austin...

Look in the Yellow Pages under the heading of "Amusement Devices".

i would stay the heck away from 2bit ...I has called 2 days ago looking for the custom ic chips on a galaga board. (having been in the that shop before I knew he had a stack of non working pcbs) He wants 40 bucks per custom chip....I might be off my rocker but that seems really really high....

Well considering that those custom IC's have not been manufactured in over 20 years, that price is reasonable.
