OT, but this amused me to no end:

Obviously, Arcade Infinity is not going on the list

Great blog, btw. While I generally don't like MAME cab conversions, I have to say that that's a really well done one. Good work!

ironically, the thing is that while they do hack jobs, if people order their cab from AI and it arrives a bit battered, they get reimbursed, so youre just paying for shipping!!

wait til you see the replacement panels i'm getting made

The only place I've ever bought arcade parts from was Excellentcom, and I highly recommend them. Very friendly and attentive to customers.

I was going to recommend Excellentcom but Blue Lander beat me to it, but they're worth metioning twice

Email them and ask them for a pcb list they have a VERY impressive list of shooters in stock, cheap too.

If you order from them, they'll send you a monthly excel file with their latest prices and whatnot. Very competitive prices.

Oh, I just thought of another web page. www.therealbobroberts.com. Bob Roberts carries more "mundane" non-Japanese arcade parts, but it's a great place to get hard-to-find ICs and parts. I think he carries some Happ stuff, too. Great service, great web page, great guy. If I highly recommend him.

And speaking of Happ, www.happcontrols.com is a vital resource for joysticks and buttons. If you're trying to restore an old cabinet and you need vinyl and whatnot, they're the place to go.
