Ordering parts - Coin casecade

[Gino]

The sanwa jlf is too deep to fit into the case without some sort of spacer to stop the bottom of the stick rubbing against the metal back. I also need to take a drill to the gate because of how stick is screwed down.

it would be a batter idea is to just make a custom stick liek on slagcoin, I have done so and its a piece of cake if you have some tools.
My Joystick should be finish this week and i'll post the pics up

I'm thinking of doing the same mod but not putting in the sanwa stick.  Just going to put in Sanwa OSBF-30 push in buttons (because the hori are sucky ones) and change to a Sanwa GT-Y Octagonal Restriction Plate with better micro switches. Though I'm looking around for a place that do Lami-label so I can get my artwork done before I start to mod.

A few sites that supply the part I need:

What sticks are in yifans cabinets?  I always wanted to ask andy to rip me 2 sticks from the machines that have unused ones.  They're the best sticks ever!

If I can ever be fucked going to yifans lol

Hmmm, still waiting for my parts to come in.  Though I currently have no artwork nor do I have a soldering iron.  Better pick that up tomorrow.

[Gino]

Good luck!
The osbf buttons are a huge improvement over the hori ones.

[stereomonkey]

All my parts arrived today.  Only ended up getting...

12 X Sanwa push in OSBF buttons.
1 Yellow Ball top
1 JLF TP 8T stick

Decided not to mod the Hori stick itself.  Just the buttons and art work only.

Will update in weekend.

You gonna do the stick mod though? Where you change the microswitches and restrictor?/

[stereomonkey]

Nah because the restrictor plate is not in stock still and I couldn't find any decent microswitches in Oz.

[fluxcore]

Take them from the sanwa stick...

Using the Sanwa stick to make a completely new stick so that is kinda out the door.  Going to buy a soldering iron and other misc parts today.  I should get a start on hacking the wired control pad tonight maybe, if I'm not too busy schooling your Seth

Advice to all:  Try to own as much if not all of the tools you will be using!

Okay, so I got a basic soldering iron, multimeter and wire. $$$    Half way through soldering the wires, bit trickier than I thought but going fine so far

[fluxcore]

I forgot to mention that some desoldering braid makes the job a little easier (when taking the pcb off the buttons)

I'm currently in want of a drill so I can actually mod my TE stick :/

[stereomonkey]

I actually got a desolder hand pump.  Was $13.

Really need to get a soldering station.  Had my missus help me when it came to the multi tasking.  Thanks babe
