Places on the net to buy arcade parts for the UK?

[RedSquirrel]

Im in search of some arcade parts but I need them to be located in the UK. A lot of the places in the USA dont ship here or they charge a big shipping fee. Im in search of a trackball too from one.

Actually, try E-mailing Andy Warne (I-PAC).  Suzo is good for european T-balls, but I don't know where to buy them.

yeah I was gonna buy the buttons and joysticks etc off his site, but he doesnt have trakballs on there. Still, its worth emailing him about I guess, thx

yeah, I'd like to know where I can get trackballs and spinners in the uk as well.

Also, anyone know where I can get convex buttons in the uk?

Happ actually have an office in the UK. I bought some stuff from them a while ago which they shipped to me in sweden. They were very fast and friendly. Here is all the info you need:

I would like to pose the same question, but for the Netherlands. Suzo has a Dutch page but according to their site they will only sell to registered companies, not to private persons.

So, I would very much like to find a source for arcade parts in the Netherlands.

Also, does Wico have an European outlet? Their prices seems much beter than Happ's (almost 50% cheaper on joysticks and buttons!)

Come to think of it. How about adding regional information on suppliers to the site? Everything is very USA-oriented. I imagine many of us are located in Europe and Asia.

I'm UK based (London) and I got my parts from the following,

Joysticks/Trackball/Buttons:  From Happs UK, I gave their UK unit a ring, gave them the part numbers (taken from the Happs site), paid by card  and they posted them off to me and I got them if a couple of days.

iPAC/OtiPAC: From Ultimarc, ordered online and also deliveried within a few days.

Spinner: From Oscar, ordered online, took a few more days to come as it was coming from the states.

All provided good service and I would be happy to order from them again.

Ah good. Any ideas on how much they will be? Also when will they be up to order (plus I wanna see what the look like).

Thanks

Don't forget that Suzo also have a UK branch (www.suzo.co.uk) and unlike their Dutch branch they will sell to individuals. I've ordered from them and their service was good.

Is there anywhere supplying japanese controls? Sanwa sticks, convex pushbuttons etc.

Ultimarc have sticks in red but no buttons.

Do a search on Google for 'Swallow Amusements'.  They are UK based and sell some good stuff (old + new).  Only downer is you have to pay by cheque...but that just means a few more days waiting  .

Personally I prefer the Happ/IL buttons to the japanese ones.

However if you want the japanese buttons then Suzo(UK) is probably your best bet. They sell replacement SEGA parts. However you'll have to email them as these items do not appear in their catalogue or on their website.

IIRC, Suzo bought Wico, and now Wico is the US branch name of Suzo.

I was put in touch with Suzo by Hantarex (arcade monitors), as they are a distributor.  Not bad prices too
