Placed an order on Nov 22nd.

No response since. Sent 4 emails about order, no responses.

Are you alive? Are you alright?
 
I ordered on 10/20 and then the next day he posted on his site that he was about 3 weeks behind on shipping. On 11/18 I emailed asking if he could try and get the order out so I could fix a game before thanksgiving party and he responded and shipped right away.
 
I just received my order, took about a month. No big deal.
I think he's in the process of renovating his house after the fire and is running a few weeks behind (says so on his webpage). I wouldn't worry, you'll get your order. Ian is a solid dude.
 
i talked to him about 2-3 weeks ago and his contractor was dragging his feet and many delays on his house project so i am sure its not easy working out of a tiny apt and dealing with all the house crap. he always responds quickly if your using his gmail address, but no doubt you will get your stuff.

BTW: you spelled his name wrong and if you doing that on his email it won't reach him (Ian Kellogg)
 
I'm using the link on his website so I know he's getting my emails.


I'll just order from Security from now on. Can't abide slow shipping and no communication. If you're busy don't take any more orders.

Didn't you see the note on Ian's main page that said hes running about 3 weeks behind? Its been there since 10/23.

No because I didn't order from the main page. I had a link book marked. If I had seen that i would have not ordered.

^ i did. and i still ordered. and got my parts just fine. fuck the haters. i love ian!

Wonderful for you. And Ian is fine, i just needed some parts more quickly. If he couldnt get out orders it's easy to shut the site down until he's back on his feet.

No big deal, I guess I should look on a website carefully before I order to make sure they can ship when I need it.

It was a rebuild kit for my Space Invaders power supply. I had to borrow one from another midway game and wanted to get this rebuilt and swapped back in. #firstworldproblems

slick modern switcher which is the best thing to happen to that game since sliced bread!

Yea they are nice. I just find it easy to repair a lot of things............wheni can get the parts. :p
 
Do a search, find the post, and see what Ian is going through.

You want your parts right quick.... do the research, and order from DigiKey or Mouser....

Or, have some patience, and consider supporting your hobbyist community.

Before Ian's issues, I had no problems getting stuff from him. I have some more stuff to order at some point, and I'll continue to support Ian and those in the community.

I haven't ordered from security001 yet, but I probably will someday. I have ordered from Ian before, and it was a positive experience and he was very helpful.

Not sure how you ordered (e-mail ?). Whatever method, you probably should have been informed up front about the delays and why, so you could make an informed decision up front.

I'm sure many "hobbyist" KLOV vendors don't have a disaster contingency plan. Cut the guy some slack.... put yourself in his position. You're not dealing with Digikey, Mouser, etc... stop expecting their level of stock, shipping, disaster management, etc, etc, etc.

Preach much?

I ordered from a bookmarked link, nothing on that page that said anything about delays. I sent 4 emails asking about delivery with no response.

Am I supposed to live on here and know everything about what is going on in every vendors life?

Support the hobby? Why don't you do some research and see that I have done plenty to support the hobby and will go continue to do so.

So how about you get off your high horse before you get a nosebleed partner?
 
I have order a lot from most vendors on here due to repairs over at arcade expo in banning. Over 470 arcade machines and growing.

I haven't had any problems yet with the vendors here from small orders to larger orders.

Sorry you are having an issues. I hope things get settle soon.

It wouldn't even be An issue if I had known what was going on. I understand that crap happens.

Now I know and it's all good. It will get here when it gets here.
 
Off topic.

Speaking of rebuilding or replacing on a space invader type game.

I have repaired many SI type machines after the perceived failure of rebuilding power supply.
If you have enough bad caps on your pcb board, The power supply just doesn't have enough current to over come these bad caps and the power supply appears to be dead.

An in circuit esr meter comes in handy to weed out bad caps.

That's it? Shit was just getting good....

I've ordered from security, like every vendor, prices differ. But I got my order in 3 days. So yea.

I am a stickler, I place orders to coincide with my days off. So the parts get here day before.

If a vendor can't make that happen, I find another.

I make contact to make sure it will not be an issue.
