Hobby shop for vintage parts in Tokyo?

[AYKBOBCAT]

Hello

I will be in Japan in August and will spend a week in Tokyo. I'm wondering if a member here knows the area and could suggest a good store for me to visit... I'd also be happy to find one where I could look for vintage stuff, especially AYK, Kyosho and Tamiya SRB...

Thanks for any info... Cheers

i never found one, but I didnt travel around too much, everything vintage I bought was off yahoo auctions

hard to tell
In the past (around 1995) there were many rcshops in the Akihabara area but all closed down. Still there are many shops in the Tokyo- Yokohama area but is so large in size that you could spend a few days investigating.
Once I was tempted to get phone numbers and addresses from the Yokomo, kyosho and HPI site and call them to ask when was the shop opened and give them a visit if they told me they had been opened for 20 years, but I am not in the mood of spending hours in the trains from one side to the other and maybe for nothing..

I would imagine that many of those vintage parts in those shops have been bought and resold on EBay. I've almost singlehanded cleared every shop in my area out of vintage parts
