    Hi,
    I am planning a refurb job on my mame cab and need to get some new buttons, joysticks and t molding etc.
    Is there somewhere online that takes laser cards?
    Cheers.

    I think that you can only use laser or an Irish shop, wont work international AFAIK.
    have tried to use mine for a magazine subscription and it was a no go.

    As someone pointed out to me before, using laser to buy things online is actually kind of dodgy.

    If someone commits fraud using your credit card, they can only max out your credit limit. And that's just credit anyway, not your actual bank account.

    However on the other hand, if someone uses your laser details for evil purposes ...:eek:

    thanks for the replies guys.
    I have a credit card but am in the process of clearing it as I ten to get carried away with it....
    I just thought there might be somewhere that takes laser.
    I am going to order from http://www.arcadeemulator.net
    I am just getting 2 new joysticks, dozen or so happ buttons, red t molding, carriage bolts, 2 cup/bottle holders.
    Does anyone know if the t-molding is standard on arcade machines?
    My cab is an old electrocoin Xenon from the early eighties?
    The T- Molding is this: Red, Smooth T-Molding for 3/4’

    Cheers.

    All you need to know about t-moulding :D
    http://ukt-molding.co.uk/link.html

    Just to note gremlin solutions do all that gear and are based in the uk so no customs problems/etc
    http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk
    The owner is on byoac.com all the time and seems dead sound

    Also happs have a uk branch too so if you buy on there site it gets sent from the uk

    Cheers for the reply.
    I was trying to get the best prices as the shipping is quite costly.
    Also the some of the sites from the states are cheaper than the UK ones even with the shipping costs.
    I have bought from gremlin before and they were spot on so might in fact stick with them if they have all that I need.
    Cheers again for the reply.

    As state Laser is uesless. You can only Laser online on IRish websites that accept it and charge in Euros. Acceptance outside of Ireland is extremely rare and I don't know of any Irish websites that would be doing arcade parts unless it's trade.

    The UK Maestro card can be used online on many sites to buy a whole raft of things. The Irish banks just never bothered their arses to setup a decent card instead they'd prefer us to get credit cards solely for online purchasing.

    Good luck anyway.
