These are the only to manufacturers I have so far ...
More entries would be appreciated greatly ! (like SEGA, Nintendo, etc.) ...

Atari's customer service number is: 408-434-3941

       Atari Games
       Customer Service
       737 Sycamore Drive
       Milpitas, CA 95035

Atari will provide schematics and docs for almost anything that
have made for only $12 or so.  There are also some Atari people who read
r.g.v.a, so you can try posting a message to catch their attention ...

Williams/Bally/Midway is: 312-509-6573 (Note : this is a tech #)

       3401 North California Avenue
       Chicago, IL  60618-5899

Games older than five years old are no longer supported.  :-(
I'm sure they'll give you tech advice, though.

Here's a list of different places where you can get various parts and kits
for arcade games (thanks to Rick Schieve for the info ...) :

Video Connection in CA, 916-678-5189
       the most reputatable, and fastest of the bunch and a nice
       catalog.

Eldorado Products in CA, 213-630-3300
       A bit slow and excentric, but a great selection of oldies.

C&P in IN, 219-256-1138

Alpha Amusements in MI, 800-33-GAMES
       good selection, but make sure you try what they send right
       away as they have mixed up what they sent.

Southeast Game Brokers Inc. in FL, 813-855-1080

Red Baron Amusements    1-800-331-3766
       6540 W. Central
       Toledo, OH 43617

They usually sell newer kits but may have some old boards.  They
also state that they take Visa, MC, and Am. Express

The Game Exchange  (614) 258-2933
       P.O. Box 09598
       Columbus, Ohio 43209-0598

They sell used games and kits.

Space Age Electronics  1-800-822-0280
       26524 Golden Valley Road, Suite 507
       Saugus, CA 91350

They sell new game monitors for pretty cheap.  They had a 13" on
sale in August for $150 and a 19" for $170.

AVA   (314) 421-5100
       2301 Olive St.
       St. Louis, MO 63103

boards.

Galaxy Distributing    1-800-678-7665
       401 S. Elgin
       Tulsa, OK 74120

New and used kits, power supplies.  Good prices on newer kits.  I
don't know about older boards.  They don't have a real extensive
selection.

Here are some parts places that sell new stuff like joysticks, power
supplies etc.
