Bob is a New Orleans area resident who retired from the arcade business some years ago.
Since then, he has been selling off his large stock of arcade parts.
Ordering is quite easy. Just surf his site. Write everything you want down. Email Bob with a list of what you want. He will write back with a total. You send him a check. He sends you the stuff.
After you have established a buying record with him, he will cross ship your order. This means you make the order and he will ship the stuff on an honor system. He trusts that you will pay him. This method of business gets the items to you as quick as most places, if not sooner. He feels that arcade folk are good people and it he is one of the few places where you have a sort of old fashioned values feel. He seems to like to do business right.
