Title: WTB HAPP Marquee retainer [CA/Montreal]
Post by: Nataq on September 23, 2009, 09:43:28 pm: Looking for 2 X 26 inches to ship in Montreal Canada.

I cant find any J-trim in my local hardware stores... :(

Thank you!

I am waiting for an answer from HAPP to know if they can cut it in half for me. But then again, they just ship through UPS or Fedex and they charge the big price when shipping from USA to Canada. I will end paying something like 50$ for the retainer only... USPS would be ideal.

Any other suggestions ? I tried to search for alternative but none seems to look as good as the HAPP retainer... that's a shame for a cheap plastic trim :(

Or maybe someone have some spared retainers ?

Thank you.

I've seen people mention in several threads here that they've gone to a Home Depot type store and gotten L shaped material to use for marquee retainers. Other than that I'm sorry I can't help.

I may end up buying it anyway. I've sent a few emails here and there asking arcades repairmens if they know some place locally where I can get a retainer. Im crossing my fingers.

If you are in Canada like me you can order Happ parts from Starburstcoin/Playdium:

Just specify the Happ Part number in a phone call or email and they can get it for you.

Let me know how you fare with the Montreal guys.
