As far as the buttons and joysticks and coin door, www.happcontrols.com is a good place to find those items.

You can mail order it, or i you are in a large city, check the yellow pages under "amusement devices" and then call up places and ask if they have a public parts counter.

Calling up places and asking if they have a private parts counter generally results in them hanging up on you ;D
