Title: Favorite Supplier?
Post by: craigwojo on July 17, 2017, 08:11:48 am

Hi everyone,

Who is your favorite supplier of Arcade Hardware. Also what are your favorite hardware items because of durability or cost.

Is there a supplier with custom hardware parts?

Thank you and God bless,
Craig

I'm a GGG/Ultimarc kind of person. Ultimarc if I need stuff fast even though they are on the other side of the world.

GroovyGameGear for classic US style parts
FocusAttack for Japanese style parts
Arcadeemulator.net (Divemaster on here) for Happ parts (keep in mind he's a one man operation who only ships once a week)

Avoid the bottom dollar eBay and amazon controls.

I've never ordered from Ultimarc, but they have an excellent reputation on here.  Divemaster carries some of their products.

Really?  :D

I used arcadeshop.de on several occasions and the have excellent shipping.  On those tight builds the Redball Mini Stick is awesome.

They are having server issues at the moment, but should be back online.  Never a problem though.
