Sanwa controls in Australia?
« on: February 13, 2006, 10:37:17 pm »
Does anyone know where to get Sanwa buttons and joysticks in Australia?  I know about OzStick, but they only have sticks, and then only with red ball tops.  I know about Highway, as well, but they don't have all the kinds of buttons I want.  I don't want to order from a place like Himura Games in the USA because it's far too expensive, and the shipping adds even more to the price.  Is there a place that sells a wide range of Sanwa control in Australia, or do I have to import the stuff from Japan?

Go through ponyboy in the B/S/T forum for your sanwa needs...  Unfortunately, it's still cheaper to buy most of parts in the US and ship them here, then to buy local.... that's even after you include shipping!  Believe it or not!  The prices are really not all that bad in the big scheme of things.

I'll try to convince a Japanese place to sell me some stuff.  If I order enough at once they might agree to it.
