    A long time no speak inhabitants of here.

    Finally getting around to coverting some old cabs I accumulated.
    Where do you guys use these days for parts with fast delivery?

    Mostly looking for Joysticks, buttons and some wiring looms.

    Will be using a pi in one cabinet.
    Good to see the emulation tag added to the forum.. :D

    Arcadeworlduk.com seems to be doing quite well now.
    Got some bits off them, not cheap but quality is good.

    Thanks for the links and replies.
    @ Cathal, I am afraid not, nothing of use was salvageable bar the chasis and marquees.
    To be honest one of the cabinets I acquired through here many many many moons ago.

    I did get around 150 punts of old 10p coins out of one. A few old Flórin 2 shilling coins among them.

    Is there much demand for old cabinets? I have a couple in my possession

    People like to have a piece of history or a project cab to fix up - I'd be interested in knowing what you might have if your looking to sell :)

    Theres a marketplace in this forum for such things also which might be a good idea.
