allthingsanalogue Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Actually, it was 3 ribbons I ordered as the import and postage was high so it made sense to order 3. Heres the total breakdown to the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thx, I should have asked him about replacement lens when I ordered my flex circut lol. Guess Ill be making another order soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Still $35...wow..that is more than I would have expected but since there aren't any other alternatives or anyone else making new replacement...what else you going to do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Fantastic service and Best Electronics just do not belong in the same sentence! Never had a good exchange with them and one time they wanted to charge me double for a game because I asked what kind of packaging it came in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a good exchange with them and one time they wanted to charge me double for a game because I asked what kind of packaging it came in. I can only speak for my orders but I’ve ordered twice and emails have been responded to swiftly and postage was extremely quick, although I got hammered twice for import tax but that’s unavoidable sometimes.

power Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 new screen lens! I didn't even know you could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+laz455 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I just placed a order with them and had a good results! placed order via email, got a quick response and items came in very quick. Their products seem of high quality, so I'm pleased they even included some articles to read and new product page. My first reaction to their website was like everyone else but they seem to have the replacement parts we need and have created new improve parts that says a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninsei Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I'm having trouble navigating the best electronics site. Does anyone have a direct link to where the lynx screen covers and silicones are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GadgetUK Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 f*** me on the prices!!! He's really increased the prices there! It's cheaper by far to just buy a faulty Lynx =/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 2 large warehouses full of old Atari stock Yeah, you have to order the catalog to get the full list of parts. I don't know how much I've spent there over the years, but I've never had a single issue other than maybe once or twice he was slow to respond, but he's a one man shop and the only source for a lot of these parts.

Krip316 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 He’s jacked the prices way up. Those screens were $25. Be careful what you say to him. He’s like a volcano, if you say something that annoys him(which can be the most innocent question).... he’ll explode! I tried to order 4 Lynx mb’s and he just flipped out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s like a volcano, if you say something that annoys him(which can be the most innocent question).... he’ll explode! I tried to order 4 Lynx mb’s and he just flipped out. Yep. When I asked him to confirm whether the game I wanted to order had a full cover image or the one with the stripe down the side (I think I was after Electrocop), he flipped too, saying this would be a custom order and the price will be doubled because the "warehouse manager" would have to go check. He then proceeded to ramble on about other aspects of running his business that didn't seem to be relevant to what I was asking. I never bother with this guy any more.

AtariLeaf Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Just looking at the Custom IC page, he has TIA's and Pokey's listed as "Limit 1". I guess he's running out of TIA's. It's a scary thought that these 40 old machines may soon run completely out of their custom chips and may be impossible to fix one day. This is the reason I horde 2600's - the parts, particularly the IC's. I know FPGA's are the wave of the future, it would be nice to see a drop in FPGA TIA replacement one day.

PFG 9000 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) I ordered a few replacement Jaguar game boxes from Best Electronics earlier this year, along with some other goodies. I got the shipment in two separate packages, but one of the replacement boxes I had ordered wasn't there. I thought maybe one of the packages had been stolen from my doorstep or something, but there was only one tracking number shared by all the packages, so tracking wasn't going to be helpful. It turned out he had just forgotten to toss one of the replacement boxes into the mix, and he did send it to me later, but only after he insisted the box had been included with the first shipment and that it was my mistake. He's definitely temperamental, but he's also one of the only sources for some of this stuff. Edited November 23, 2018 by PFG 9000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Bradley KNOWS what he has and can Squeeze when he wants to. But, I have to say, I have always gotten my goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtmonkey Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I've only dealt with Best Electronics once, when I ordered an Atari ST. I was walking on egg shells when I contacted him based on what people have told me, but he was perfectly friendly over email even though it took a few emails back and forth to settle on what I eventually ordered. It went perfectly fine, though, and he went above and beyond to make sure I ordered the right unit, etc. It also came packaged extremely well, arriving safe and sound all the way in Japan. With Atari hardware prices what they are now, I really don't have any opportunity to shop with Best anymore, but I had a fine experience.
