Australian Roll Call / Registry / Deals Thread

Good evening, I hope everyone is going well.

I wanted to let everyone know that I am putting the finishing touches on another shipment from Japan.
I am hoping to have it finalised in 2-3 days before I head on holidays.

Are there any specific or special order items, not currently on my website, people are chasing from the Sanwa/Seimitsu/Samducksa/KDiT catalogues?

Let me know via PM as soon as possible (or send me an email via the website).
Have a great weekend!

I hope everyone is doing well. A minor update - I was able to secure some discontinued Sanwa ball/bat tops.
Of special note, I am very proud to offer the Murakumo Arts products, including the very well known/high quality printed JLF dustwasher, the World of Balltops books and the authorized Sanwa Denshi POP acrylic fixtures.

I was in disbelief when I saw it and then held it. It is the strangest arcade product I am likely to see in person. It is like an arcade balltop started growing hair, lol. Hopefully the little hair description comes out in photos I have taken.
I can't help but like it as the texture is very soft. I haven't put one through it's paces on a fighting game yet though.

I want some of those accessory drawers - hopefully they have some at my local store. They sell similar ones at Bunnings and Jaycar but they cost more

Let me know if you can’t find them. Im in close proximity to about 5 Aldi stores with many more on my transit for work. The drawers look really handy. Way better than the gazillion cardboard boxes and ziploc bags.
 
Yeah those drawers are great for storing passives and small stuff. Will definitely grab at least 1 of each in the photo

The local store is a fairly large Aldi so they tend to get reasonable numbers of the Special Buys - I’ll go down there early just in case
 
Yeah those drawers look great.. but sadly they're only good if you have a proper workbench. Unfortunately, I need portable style compartment containers
 
There’s a fair bit to getting the dream arcade room setup just so hey. Find the machines. Need the room. Need the access. Need the power points. Need the lighting. Need the parts/tools. Need the parts/tools storage and workshop. Need that workshop to be near arcade room. Need a van or Ute. Need a big garage. 😚
 
Don’t overthink it @Ziggy Cheetos Dust… unless you’re a Instagram whore I don’t think any of it matters ultimately. Just get your cabs looking good enough to you and get cracking with the games! Same with the workspace. An evolving space is way more exciting than a tidy show(off)room IMO.

I grabbed that Astro from up north and it’s doors are pretty beaten up. Like every one of my other cabs I’m going to keep it the way they arrive… no fishing the Internet for compliments on the beauty of what are useful to me as nothing more than the mechanisms for playing my PCBs.

Yes agreed. It’s that work in progress which is so fun. I do enjoy tidying up the cabinets and seeing other people do the same, but yes the goal is to then enjoy playing them. That’s great you got that Astro. Is there space for another in your room?
