Teacher in need of parts
fernakis:
Hi!!
I'm a teacher in Canada. I teach students electronics for workplace (these are courses designed for disadvantaged students who if they get their highschool degree will be moving on straight to work). Usually we play around with donated and broken computers, but I thought it would be a realy treat for them to build an arcade cabinet. I've built one before myself a few years back. Unfortunately while the will is there, the budget isn't. So...
Was looking for opinions as to where parts can be found on the cheap. Even used working parts are good. Any of the essentials - 8 way joysticks, buttons, etc.
Thanks in advance, and happy new year!!
Sincerely,
Mike.

Hi Mike.
Whereabouts are you ?
You may also want to check out CGCC -- there are a couple of teachers there who restore/build cabinets as part of their curriculum:

Thanks for the reply. I'm in Canada - Ontario. I'll check out CGCC.
Any other sources / ideas??

If you are in SW Ontario (I am in Toronto, but most of the CGCC guys are in SW Ontario), I am sure that some of us have some parts kicking around.
My generic parts cupboard is a little bare right now, but I'm sure I have a couple of 8-ways to spare and some buttons that I won't use.
Cheers.

Wow.
That's great.
Didn't realize there were so many people in the area. I'm in Toronto (well, Newmarket)
Perhaps we can negotiate something, that would be much appreciated.
Mike.
