aimtraks are great and are probably the best quality solution for LCD displays and are recommended by me.  Check with Arcadeemulator.net (divemaster here on the forum) who is the ultimarc us distributor.  he had some in december.

Ah yeah, divemaster, I forgot about him.  Been a while since I have been on here.  Thanks Jimmy!

That ebay auction is also divemaster.  However, the shipping will be less than $40 if you order two from him directly.  If you're ordering one its a toss up.

I too would like to know about the stock situation as I'm planning on picking up a couple for my cabinet, incidentally if anyone here has experience with using them I'd like a bit of advice, I plan on mounting the sensor bar just underneath the marquee overhang instead of behind the screen and was wondering if this would work well enough?

Here's a picture of my cabinet so you guys can gauge

should be fine mounting the light bar a little high, since you can calibrate the guns.  as far as putting it way in front of the screen, not sure about that.

Ahh right, I was hoping to get away without having to cut away any of the plexi surrounding the monitor and maybe just drill a small hole to feed the cabling through into the cabinet itself so the sensor bar is as flush as it can be towards the back of the marquee overhang, perhaps I could try it anyway and if it's a no go then just go the whole way and cut to fit the sensor so it's inside. Thanks for your reply though :)

Still like to know the stock situation of these though as I plan on ordering in the next couple of weeks to get my Point Blank and Virtua cop fix!
