1st off, I'm new to this board (but not to neo geo), so sorry if this is a stupid question. I need a new controller for my AES. After 10 years, one of the controllers died. I have checked Ebay, neogeousa.com, and gamedude.com and the store here, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any other places to get one. I really want to get one of the old school "330 Mega" type ones.
Thanks,
Rich

Well, you've pretty much summarized the places where I would like for that controller.
In any case most sticks you'll find will be 5th hand more than 10 years old and are likely to work like shit, although they will be pricey. So I would suggest you to make your own from real arcade parts, or modify a Dreamcast original stick, that you can find almost new for a decent price easily: <a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=002240" target="_blank">http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=002240</a>

Good luck and welcome to the board <img src="graemlins/mrt2.gif" border="0" alt="[Mr T]" />

Well, in fact, Amano Jacu, I have just got a MINTY FRESH, boxed old style neo controller from a Spanish seller on ebay. So I suggest you try to hunt for one on ebay, you can have luck and get a very good one sometimes! <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" />
