Title: Can somebody help some poor Euro collectors ?
Post by: Level42 on December 20, 2009, 05:26:20 pm

Hey guys,

The thing is: Ckong and I want to order some parts for our Nintendo coin-mechs from Asahi Seiko. Now, Ckong has done a lot of work in contacting both the US and UK offices, but the US office is not able to accept cc or pp payments from abroad (which is totally weird), and the UK office is calculating UK prices, meaning insanely high.

Would anyone be willing to order the stuff for us at Asahi Seiko and forward ship it ?

No, we're looking for KWM-740 parts as those were used in Nintendo coin doors.

Have you tried www.pbresource.com? (http://www.pbresource.com?)  At one point they had NOS ones for like $10.  Not sure if it was the exact model, but it was an Asahi in a similar style.  They are kinda hidden so you'll have to dig a bit.

If that doesn't work, PM me and we will see if we can get this taken of for you and ckong.
