You want to buy arcade parts. What do you need? What do you want?
Rick:
I am currently putting together an order from my suppliers, to build up my current inventory to help for the "Go Live" of my website in the next few weeks. I would like to reach out to the BYOAC Community, to find out the parts you order on a regular basis (as I know a lot of you do build more than just a single cab) or what parts you may have trouble finding.
I've got a good start on the 'arcade staples', including various types of joysticks and buttons, as well as arcade power supplies, horizontal and vertical multi-boards, JAMMA wiring harnesses, PCB mounting feet, etc.
So - what do I need to stock, and how much would you consider ordering from your friendly Canadian arcade parts supplier?
:D

LOL all you want - I have those as well. Announcement to come.

It would be nice to have black-rimmed LED (either single-color or RGB) admin buttons with diffusers and decent-sized inserts that are close to the same profile as the player buttons instead of these sawed-off volcano-wannabe's. :(
Left to right: GGG Arcade Prime, Paradise White Convex LED Lighted Arcade Pushbutton, Paradise White Black Rimmed Convex LED Lighted Arcade Pushbutton.
You can mix-and-match IL buttons, but the insert size is 56% smaller -- 0.640" (0.321536 sq. in.) instead of 0.850". (0.5671625 sq. in.)
How hard can it be to get the body of the buttons that almost every vendor carries (below) cast in black plastic? (No new mold needed.) :soapbox:

I've reviewed my suppliers stock - and it would seem that it's challenging to find what you want. I can supply the black-rimmed buttons in 33mm sizes, but not in the standard 24mm/28mm size. There are 24mm LED buttons, but I can only find them with silver-plated surrounds. (I even tore down one of my LED buttons as well as one of my black buttons, to see if I could somehow assemble something that would function, but no dice.)
I now share your frustration. I may need to see if I can determine a viable solution by painting the surround, but I don't think the tolerances will allow it - and then, the wear and tear may not keep it looking good for long.
