Answer
Hi Steve,

Boy Steve, that is a hard one, maybe someone looking at this will help. There is a, ooh what do they call it? ahh... Usenet or "NEWSGROUP", that's it, newsgroup. Dealing with video games, and I did use it with my old Netscape browser but I am not a computer guy so I haven't figured out how to subscribe to the news groups with my new Internet Explorer. I am sure you can find the newsgroups using a search engine like maybe google. I do remember guys selling piles of boards, trading and selling parts there, so this would be My first location to try finding one. Also you can search for video game dealers and web sites, there is a gameroom magazine which has adds, dealers, parts and that sort of thing, it's located at: http://www.gameroommag.com/ which by the way is a great magazine which will give you tons of leads for this kind of thing. First Steve, my choice is the news groups as your will find one for cheep there! I just know it, so that is what you need to do, subscribe to one of those dealing in video games. If I can help you further just let me know. Finding parts for these kind of games and slot machines can be a challenge but be persistent and you will find what you need. Also check ebay, search arcade and video games there.

I hope this gets you moving down the right road for a very quick shot at locating one quickly, and I believe you will using this guide, as this is how I go at it when I am in need of something uncommon. Please leave me feedback here at allexperts, as thats it, that my total return for giving my time doing this here to do my best to help you, thanks!

Thank You
