Hi, I'm new to this forum, so please excuse me, if this has been asked before.
I live on the Gold Coast, Queensland, and am looking for a local supplier, there used to be a supplier for complete machine's and parts, at Labrador, but they are no longer there, and I've forgotten their name.
I originally made a controller for C64, and Amiga, using Arcade parts supplied by these guys, and am now interested in building a USB style Arcade control for my PC.
Not worried about prices as such, more so the supplier's for new parts over old.
In case any1 is interested, I do Computer System building, and modding, so if any1 needs any advice or help, feel free to ask....

Look in your local phone book under either "Amusement", "Vending", or "coin operated equipment". Start calling people, you will probably find several local suppliers that have joysticks and buttons. The prices will be higher than normal though.
