Looking to turn a crap cab into a crap cab w/ good sticks and buttons.

Is this place any good? Anyone have any reccommendations?

I have heard that the guy that runs that site is extremely unreliable. Apparently there are orders that are months old that have not been filled. I recently got some stuff through the group order with oxtsu, he was a really cool guy. I don't know if he bought any extra stuff to sell though.

I buy from a guy in the US that sells Sanwa stuff only though. He doesn't have a site yet either but I like the cheap shipping

For American style parts you can't beat http://www.therealbobroberts.net/.

No Sanwas or other J-style parts, however.

So, any good US sites that sell Sanwa?

I've bought parts through members on various boards, as well as through Akihabarashop. Per runs the Akihabarashop and is an excellent guy to deal with. I heartily recommend him! He can also special order some stuff from Sanwa and Seimitsu.
