Title: Wanted: 1, 2 player start buttons
Post by: MrBond on April 20, 2003, 12:19:40 pm
Anyone have any extra 1 and 2 player start buttons?  The whities with the little guys on them?

Or if you don't have any, what is the cheapest place to buy them?  Happ is out due to the minimum price, plus there prices are always high in the first place.

Someone in another thread had said that happs doesn't bother with the minimum order thing anymore.... althought bob roberts is a very good alternative...

Bob is an excellent person to deal with.
Two thumbs up as well as both big toes to BOB!
I usually email him a day or two in advance & pick up the orders on my way home form work.
He's an all around nice guy & the parts are priced lower than Happs in most cases.
When Happ has a sale, Bob is still cheaper.
Also his shipping is more than reasonable for those who don't live close by.

hehe, have you read his ordering FAQ, you just got REALLY lucky :0


What to heck is lagniappe?

Lagniappe is a custom practiced here in Louisiana & I'll give you Webster's definition........
"lagniappe or lagnappe n. 1. a small gift given by a merchant to a customer for making a purchase. 2. a gratuity; tip"
Whenever possible, something is randomly thrown in with your order that my wife or I think you may be able to use, or the brownie cookies or trinkets at Mardi Gras time, or sometimes even the shipping container such as the Rubbermaid containers that were used to ship buttons & joysticks several times. You never know what, or when, you'll find some oddball item in your order... calculators... telephones... tool sets... toys... extras of the same part... vid game posters... flyers... boxes of lamps or stuffed animals just to name a few of the items already sent out as lagniappe.

I got one of those plastic happs button wrench thingys as my freebie, works great!
Can't say anything but good stuff about Bob, good, fast communication and shipping, everything packed nicely.
If I need more stuff, I will look there first.

Sounds like a great guy!  Still, I only need 2 buttons...maybe I'll wait until I figure out something else arcade like I need.
