See divemaster's thread below. He sells pretty much anything you can get from Happ plus Ultimarc stuff.

He is not shipping marquee retainer in Canada, that's why I specified Canada since it seems like a hard thing to get here. I am waiting for an answer from HAPP to know if they can cut it in half for me. But then again, they just ship through UPS or Fedex and they charge the big price when shipping from USA to Canada. I will end paying something like 50$ for the retainer only... USPS would be ideal.

Any other suggestions ? I tried to search for alternative but none seems to look as good as the HAPP retainer... that's a shame for a cheap plastic trim :(

Or maybe someone have some spared retainers ?

Thank you.

Wow! I don't see anything on his thread about that. I've seen people mention in several threads here that they've gone to a Home Depot type store and gotten L shaped material to use for marquee retainers. Other than that I'm sorry I can't help.

Thank you anyway :)

I may end up buying it anyway. I've sent a few emails here and there asking arcades repairmens if they know some place locally where I can get a retainer. Im crossing my fingers.

@Nataq

If you are in Canada like me you can order Happ parts from Starburstcoin/Playdium:

http://www.starburstcoin.com/main.php

Just specify the Happ Part number in a phone call or email and they can get it for you.

No problem. I have dealt with the Toronto location personally many times (im in Vancouver area) and have never had an issue. I dealt with a fellow named Dave who no longer works in parts but his replacement is good as well.

Let me know how you fare with the Montreal guys.

Turned out well! Actually, the marquee came broken but they sold it to me half price so I was happy. Didnt needed 10' anyway.
