Title: Los Angeles Area Stores?
Post by: ElKootcho on March 14, 2007, 02:42:40 pm
I know there are a few regulars on these boards from the So Cal area. Does anyone know if there are any arcade parts (joysticks, buttons, trackballs, etc) distributors in the Los Angeles area? Or is everything pretty much done via mail order?

In emergency situations I have bought from the parts window at the local place, but the prices are way higher than they are if you just order them.

I've been MUCH happier dealing with board folk and waiting the extra 2-5 days for shipping. Guys like divemaster, ponyboy, and GroovyGameGear have all hooked me up with great deals and great service.

A little patience will go a looooong way in exteeeeeending the limited funds for projects like what we do here.  ;D  Purchase from the sellers on the B/S/T thread as well as GGG and Ultimarc.  Your pocketbook will thank you.

TTFN :cheers:

Betson.com has a Buena Park store.

Look in the Yellow Pages under "Amusement Devices" for other arcade parts stores. Check out C.A. Robinson company.

Yah kinda surprising that we don't have a decent arcade parts store here in SoCal... We have everything else...!

There is this place in Glendale: http://vintagearcade.net/ but they seem very expensive, as does this place in burbank: http://www.goldenstategames.com/ and this place: http://www.gamedoc.com/
