If you're ever in need of small quantities of special fixings like Metric or American/Imperial sized screw, bolts, cap-screws etc. this is the place.

Initially aimed at model builders, Modelfixings provides a huge range of small fixings that are sometimes used in arcade controls and/or cabinets.

For instance, the Star Wars yoke requires a pretty large variety of UNC sized cap-screws that are very hard to find anywhere outside of the US.

Modelfixings offers these at very reasonable prices and honest shipping costs. Communication is excellent, if you need anything not on their list e-mail them and they will try and add it for you, as I have experienced.

Their site is also a great source for people who are not used to the Imperial system, as there are tables that show sizes in metric for the corresponding imperial (UNC) sized parts. If that still doesn't work for you, or have no clue what size the part you're looking for is, you can send them a sample and they will provide the right part.

Another item of interest for arcade game fans is their full range of [http://www.modelfixings.co.uk/circlips.htm e-clips and circlips] which are very often used on joysticks.

They also offer the required tools for those fixings and things like washers and wing-nuts, so be sure to check out the entire site if you're looking for something like this.

They ship World-Wide and accept any modern payment method like PayPal and Credit Cards !

**Note that the prices listed on the site include 15% VAT. If you're outside the EEC, you're lucky as you won't have to pay that 15% and it get's deducted from the total.**

|Comments=Maybe not directly of interest for BYOACers but should you venture into the hobby of restoring/collecting real arcade games this is a very interesting site that has lots of "old-fashioned" IC's in stock that were used in these and also in classic homecomputers and related.

Ordering is easy through the on-line shop and there's various payments methods. Excellent communications through e-mail and swift delivery.

ThisOldGame

"Custom coin-op reproductions and fabrications. ALL our products are professionally SILK-SCREEN PRINTED in-house with the best materials and inks and are reproduced using only original parts to insure the best possible match and fit."

Looks to be a newcomer in the arcade-repro field. Produces and sells Cabinet art, stencil sets, bezels and CPO's (even anodized aluminium one's for Space Invaders and Gorf !). The big difference with others is that they use real silk screening, no inkjet printing. Also special items like the Space Invader "moon" and coin inserts and inserts for Gorf and Tron joysticks.

Another item of special interest are the Cabinet backs for several games, made to original specs 3/4" Particle Board and Ready to install. They include vent grills, key & locks.This can be handy since many backs of cabinets are missing or completely worn-out.

It looks like they're still extending the catalogue of producsts. If your looking for something special drop them a mail for a quote.
This vendor looks very promissing. Speedy and extensive answers to my questions so far by e-mail.

(thanks to SFRASCELLA for pointing me to this site !)

Suzo International

[http://www.suzo.com Home Page]

At first glance, Suzo appears to be much like [[Happ Controls]], with the large catalog and unfriendliness to the small home arcade builder. You have to register to be able to view their catalog.

Suzo is a European vendor, Dutch to be exact, but their web site is in English.

* [[Vendors]]

[[Category:Vendors]]
You actualy don't have to register to see the catalogue, you can download it in full through this link: http://www.suzo.com/downloads/SuzoCatalogue2006.pdf
or you can download it in parts from http://www.suzo.com/catalogue.php

If you want to buy from them you need a chamber of commerce number. That's the only real requirement. The head-office in Oud-Beijerland, The Netherlands has a "carry-away" counter and my experiences with staff there are that they are both friendly and helpful. Naturaly, this is not an end-user company and video games are not their center point of business anymore. However, they try to help out as much as they can is my experience.

Happ and Suzo actualy merged in 2005. This meant that the Suzo catalogue is now also carrying (some) Happ parts.

Should anyone need help in getting parts from Suzo contact me through http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=8293
