Sounds like you'll be taking a trip to the most wonderous of places: The Seoul Electronics Market. I envy you. ;D You may want to bring a friend.
Where is it you ask?
1. Go to Jongna-3 on the metro (3 stops from City Hall), and get out at the exit that comes out to the largest intersection. There are about 12 exits for every metro stop in Seoul; you can actually get out anywhere and then look for the biggest intersection.
2. Look up the road and you will see one of the palaces (I forget which one).
3. Go one block in the opposite direction from the palace. On the way you should pass several plastics shops with CNC machines humming. Stop at the fake river. You're there.
4. To your left is the electronics market. There are hundreds of shops in the alleys behind the main street also.
5. Across the street and to the left is "machinists alley, as well as hundreds of mechanical parts and tool stores.
6. Still facing the river, look left: there are two large buildings about 2 blocks down, on either side of the fake river. These are the "official electronics markets, with many hundreds of components stores and every other kind of electro store. One of them has a whole floor devoted to arcade game parts. Enjoy.
