8/6/08 - It's been a long time since we've sold anything on eBay. Their feedback policy changes where sellers cannot leave feedback for buyers has officially run us off from selling there. Our auctions have moved over to ChaseTheChuckwagon. The list of items we have up for auction can be found here.
7/29/08 - We've added a lot of EPROM SKUs, from 16k through 8 meg to the site and have updated stock quantities on all EPROMs
7/19/2008 - In preparation for our 3rd anniversary we are closed this week for cleaning shop and taking inventory. The week of the 27th will see us adding a large amount of DRAM, SRAM, EPROM, and refurbished board SKUs to the website. Any orders placed this week will be shipped out the 26th.
7/7/2008 - We've renamed the Sockets/Switches page to simply "Hardware" and have added a Downloads page for repair forms and other items. We've also added metric fasteners and standoffs to our hardware page. If you have a Neo Geo MVS system and are missing the screws we now have them - including the longer ones that hold down the cartridge slots to the standoffs!
7/3/2008 - We've added more refurbished boards for sale and have lowered the price on programming fees for ICs to $3.99 for the first and $1.99 for each additional one.
6/22/2008 - Our offices will be closed until 6/26/08. Any orders placed this week will be shipped on Friday, 6/27/08
6/20/2008 - We are now offering repairs on Neo Geo AES systems!
2/3/08 - Our offices will be closed this week. Any order placed will be shipped on Saturday, 2/9/08.
1/20/08 - Twenty more EPROM SKUs (512k, 1Mb, 2Mb, and 4Mb) have been added to the site.
1/19/08 - Twelve new EPROM SKUs (2Mb and 4Mb) and 3 MCU SKUs have been added to the site. A LOT more EPROM SKUs to come!
12/3/07 - Three additional SKUs have been added to the Custom ROMs and Logic page and pictures have been added to the site. Now all the ICs have a representative picture.
12/2/07 - Inventory counts have been updated on the Custom ROMs and Logic page. 32 new SKUs have been added.
11/25/07 - Inventory counts on the CPU & Support ICs page have been updated. Over 20 new SKUs have been added.
10/12/07 - We've added another couple of tools to our test gear arsonal - an ESR Capacitance Meter and a TopMax EPROM programmer. The cap meter will allow us to better service monitors and power supplies while the programmer will allow us to test more devices for inventory - 16-bit EPROMs, MCUs, PALs, and PALCE devices.
9/1/07 - The Texas State Comptroller's office has revised our beloved state's sales tax requirements and it goes into effect today. This means instead of 8% sales tax we have to charge Texas residents 8.25% tax.
7/18/07 - We've added a links page and will populate it with links to other very helpful sites. We've also been feverously adding parts to inventory. This will take some more time but once it's done we will be adding a lot of new SKUs to the web site.
6/6/07 - The shipping and handling costs of products have been changed due to the rate changes with the US Postal Service that went into effect on May 14th, 2007.
Italy now has International Priority Flat Rate shipping! Now it's all you can stuff into a flat rate envelope (well... up to 4 pounds) for one price.
We will still ship less than 1lb to Canada via Air Letter Post as this will save you on shipping and the speed of delivery is similar. Heavier shipments (up to 4lbs) will now be via International Priority Flat Rate shipping.
3/7/07 - Due to requests we now offer repair services for NeoGeo MVS systems. Surface mount SRAM, video SRAM, and battery replacment services are now available!
12/18/06 - Shipping Rates have been added and we now ship via USPS Global Priority Flat Rate to the following countries: Aruba, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados, Belgium, Brazil (limited to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo), Chile (limited to Santiago, Valparaiso, and Vina del Mar), China (limited to the cities listed in the USPS regulations), Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain & Northern Ireland (including England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, Sark, and the Isle of Man), Guyana, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand (including Cook Islands and Niue), Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal (including Azores and Madeira Islands), Saint Lucia, Saudi Arabia (limited to Dammam, Jeddah, and Riyadh), Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain (including Canary Islands), Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks & Caicos Islands, and Vietnam.
Shipments to the USA are via USPS Priority Mail (including Flat Rate for heavier shipments.)
Shipments to Canada and Italy are via USPS Air Letter Post. This is to save money for Canadians. Sorry Italians, but there is no Global Priority Flat Rate shipping via the USPS to Italy.
11/12/06 - Inventory continues to grow! We've added a lot of Atari ICs to stock and will be slowly adding these to the website.
9/26/06 - New SKUs have been added for various sound ICs and EPROMs. We are still going through all the chips purchased back in May. We will soon be adding NOS (New Old Stock) PROMs to the site - including some VERY hard to find ones!
9/23/06 - We have acquired (and fixed!) an old Data I/O PROM programmer. We can now program many older PROM ICs and oddball EPROMs that are too old for our other programmer. (Motorola 68764 / 68766 anyone?)
9/20/06 - Repair Services now offered on many "old school" computer logic boards!
9/19/06 - Now shipping to France, Great Britain, Israel, and Portugal via USPS Global Priority Mail. Soon we will add every country supported by USPS Global Priority Mail. For now, please contact us if we don't ship to your country yet and we can add your country into the shopping cart.
8/4/06 - Wow - We are going through all the components purchased and have found quite a few rare ICs - PALs, PROMs, TTL to MOS coverters, and more. These will be added to our inventory over time.
7/9/06 - Added a new page to the site today - a "Repair Log" page that lists things we've done in repairing systems.
7/1/06 - Received a large shipment of Commodore 64 and VIC-20 parts computers from the storage locker of an old repair center. These will be tested and added to inventory soon.
5/14/06 - We added shipping pricing for shipping via USPS Priority Mail to the USA and for shipping via USPS Air Letter Post for packages to shipped to Canada. All USPS Priority Mail shipments to the USA will include the Post Office's Delivery Confirmation option. We are also through updating the inventory on all pages except for the EPROM/SRAM/DRAMs and the 74xx logic. (Not to mention all the ICs/etc from the store buyout...)
5/12/06 - A local store has been phasing out their inventory of electronic components and we bought out every IC, diode, transistor, SCR, FET, etc. that they had. It will easily quadruple our inventory and may take us a couple of months to get it all sorted out. We will be stocking all of the 74xx/4xxx logic ICs, the cpu/memory/peripheral ICs, and common transistors/diodes used for power supply and monitor repair. Every other component will be resold either to other local parts stores or on our eBay auctions.
5/2/06 - Whew. Lots of items have been added & sorted into our inventory. We will be revamping the organization of these on the pages. For example, we have over 130 different types of 74xx logic chips in inventory. We should have the online inventory updated over the next 2 to 3 weeks.
4/1/06 - We keep growing! Local sales/repair of arcade games in the Dallas, TX Metroplex area made it necessary to add on a new workshop facility.
3/19/06 - Still getting items into inventory... Whew... Also added are descriptions of symptoms for failing Commodore ICs (Thanks to a doc by Ray Carlsen of Carlsen Electronics!) - If you aren't sure which chip to replace, take a look at the symptoms listed for each. We also added 27C1024 EPROMs into inventory. These can be programmed as a new BIOS ROM for Neo Geo systems.
2/28/06 - Wow! The inventory of ICs has tripled in the last 2 months. There are a lot of new SKUs that will be coming online in March as well as some rearranging of the web pages. Various pre-programmed ROM ICs will be broken out into their own page, some Neo Geo items will be added to various pages, and we will add more items to our special purchase items page.
1/1/06 - Happy New Year! In bringing in the new year we are expanding inventory and adding more EPROMs, SRAMs, DRAMs, CPUs & Support ICs, and 74xx Logic.
11/24/05 - Have you wondered how to contact us? We now have a new "Contact Us" page with a form that can be easily filled out. We do apologise for not having our email addresses posted, this form is simply meant to help with keeping our addresses away from SPAM bots that crawl the web for email addresses.
11/23/05 - You can now find us on eBay under the seller ID "arcadecomponents"! We also added additional RAM and CPU/Support ICs to inventory today.
8/3/05 - Everything is up and running! I will be working more and more on the site over the next few weeks to add more site content and more inventory. Thanks for your patience in getting everything running!
8/2/05 - Well, technically it is 8/2 since it's now past midnight... PayPal payments are working but credit card payments are not. I'm waiting on tech support. Hope to get it solved by 8/3/05 at the latest.
8/1/05 - The site is up! WOW - It took awhile to get everything in the ready inventory online and to get pictures up. The remaining pictures will be put up over the next week and there are items still left to be sorted through and put into inventory.
