Resources for parts on old arcade; ie: Asteroids Deluxe

[Cycloptrix]

Hey everyone;

 

I just got my old Asteroids Deluxe arcade unit back after a decade. It needs some loving, and the first thing is a new power cord.

 

So in short, is there a forum, group, website, or something for owners of this type of arcade unit that I can ask questions and find parts for?

 

I have several arcades, all are vector units (ie: Star Castle). They have all been worked on early in my ownership by a professional. Sadly, those guys are retired or long gone, so now I need to do the work on my own. And this is fine with me, I've built my own tube amps and stereo, speaker and pre-amp units, but those devices aren't the same beast as the display tubes in these vector units, so the precaution of blowing myself up is lost on me here.

 

Thanks for reading and any help!

You should join the forums at KLOV.com. There's also a group on Facebook called Arcade Collectors World Wide.

How about these guys?

I'm into both of those sources. You can really learn a lot and get into the community pretty tightly
