 Joysticks, buttons & encoders from Andy at www.ultimarc.com. I'm not sure about t-molding - maybe Ebay?


Cheers!

I got my joysticks and buttons from xgaming, since they were cheap. Thier uk office doesn't supply these parts yet, but if you email the american office they will charge $20 postage which isn't too bad (their website states it will be $60!) US based.

Ultimarc is also a good bet, their buttons and joysticks seem to be highly regarded on here. Uk based.

I also found a company called Swallow Amusements, which sell parts. I haven't dealt with them so I can't give any advice. Uk based.

You can get tmolding from tmolding.com, they're american but the postage isn't too bad. US based.

I was having another look at Swallow, and they sell tmolding as well, but only black 3/4" @

The main two are:

www.happcontrols.com (they have a branch in Kent)

and

www.suzo.co.uk

If you're prepared to order from abroad then I'd also recommend www.industrias-lorenzo.com
