Any good Sanwa suppliers?

Does anyone know any good sanwa suppliers? In case I want to stock up on replacement parts for my VSHG.

On a side note, I'm not sure if it's wiring or switch... but lately I've been having trouble double-tapping right. It ends up as holding right (but not sticking there necessarily).

I would think it was the microswitch, but I swear I hear the clicks. It sounds like a double tap, and it feels like a double tap. But I end up walking to the right until I really go back to neutral.

If I wasn't feeling the double taps, I'd understand it could be switch or just me. But I'm feeling the right switch (or left switch if you will) click twice.

Has anyone else had this issue?

http://www.akihabarashop.com is your answer. Per (The Real Neo Geo on SRK) is awesome and very reliable.

 

I've had good luck with sales@rollieelectronics.com , aka ponyboy on srk. Seems to actually have the stuff in stock, got it within days, shipping was only like $4.

Per at akibaharashop is only good if you are ordering alot and care about quality control. He takes freaking forever though.

Ponyboy at rollie electronics is much better for US based customers and he does really well with small orders (which you probably will be making).

I heard Lizard Amusements is also good but I don't know them well.

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, go with himura amusements anymore, I know alot of friends who do not know they went out of business but did not remove their site cart. They are dead, do not order from them.

If you REALLY want cheap+high number (aka wholesale) I would suggest excellentcom.net

 

Are Sanwa the only good sticks that exist in japan? cant any one order directly from Sanwa danshi? I tried email them but they never reply

 

Just for my edification, what're the best sanwa buttons to buy?
I looked on gremlinsolutions.com to buy some sanwa parts, and there are like 10 different variations of Sanwa buttons.
Any help would be appreciated.

 

Sanwa OBSF-30 are the ones you want, they're the arcade standard.

For alternatives to Sanwa sticks, I strongly recommend the Seimitsu LS-32 sticks, I personally prefer them a lot over Sanwa, they have less dead zone, the stick resets faster when you release it and better accuracy with directions.
