GREAT WESTERN TRADING
|
I recommend this site to everyone who wishes to start an arcade collection. They always have a large choice of boards and complete games, they manufacture an arcade adaptor to play on TV...
They also offer to search for any specific game they wouldn't have in stock.
This reseller is located in the USA.
|
RAVEN GAMES LONDON
| This is a very complete site, for both arcade and console collecting. As for the arcade, they sell SuperGuns (jamma adapter to play PCBs on TV), PCBs, and they are fast and efficient. I got one of my superguns from them, and they also did repairs when the power supply needed replacement. They're located in London, UK.
PCB prices are OK, since they have rare boards in stock. I keep in mind that i'd like to visit them whenever i go to London.

ARCADE HEAVEN
|
Also in the UK, a reseller with a wide range of products, arcade boards, complete games, pinballs, computers, consoles...
Plus interesting parts for beginners and an interesting links page.
|
ARCADIA BAY
|
Altough this site is from Germany, german speaking is not mandadory, just pick the english version!
They sell arcade PCBs as well as MVS cartridges and pinballs, and offer boards repair, jamma conversion or diagnose...
Don't hesitate to contact them for any need concerning arcade collecting, most likely they'll reply fast and will be able to help!

ARCADE COLLECTOR DOT COM

Pretty cool site, i've hesitated to put in the "resellers" section, but there are actually a few stuff for sale. The most interesting part of the site is the picture gallery : cabinets, screenshots...Very good!
