Back for round 2...
« on: October 27, 2006, 11:35:56 am »
Hi all,

Going to start collecting parts for my 2nd project after a year break.
Wondering if anything changed in terms of recommended suppliers.

If I recalled correctly the following list is what I remember, please correct me if things changed.
- Buttons/Joy/Trackball and other arcade parts... BobRoberts
- Coin Door...This forum's For Sale channel...
- T-Moldings ... www.T-Molding.com

I want to collect all the supplies before Thankgiving weekend so I can start during that long weekend.
Feel free to list anything else you think I have forgotten.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

'Ponyboy' and 'divemaster' on these boards are also reputable suppliers of discounted Happ parts.

I bought some buttons and joysticks from tornado terry (he's on this board somewhere) http://www.tornadoterrys.com/surplus.htm
very cheap and I had received the stuff in the mail within 2 days of ordering
he also secured me some random joystick pieces that i needed (and that happ was going to charge me out the ying yang for)
easily the best experience i've had with anyone on the internet
