** Akishop.jp is now OPEN **

Well, I can only tell you that when it is shipped it is 100% ok according to the pics, the shippingpeople can sometimes be on the rough side.

Manchester plays well I think but Arsenal is coming back to it`s original form with quick passes and super fast offensive.

I would just like to add, I got the LS 32, but with micro switches, (not the 5pin) and nothing was bent, I’m guessing those little prongs get bent easy in shipping, but nothing you can’t fix, just letting people know in case they were worried about it or something.

Yeah, but it is nice to see that people write what was good and what was bad. When all people only write good things then scepticism will start for the ones who reads the posts because nothing is 100% good. So yeah, be as truthful as you can be is the only way to go :).

I emailed my friend in Akihabara and told him to answer some of my questions for different companies in Japan, very interessting stuff:


Question for Rakuten:

*Will this work on .110 open barrel terminals?
http://www.rakuten.co.jp/monju/507117/507296/#459652

He recommened this one. P-706
http://www.rakuten.co.jp/monju/499453/500923/500926/#451976

Question for Seimitsu:

*Do you sell 5-pin cable?

YES. 210yen per 1pcs (I will sell them for 270yen in the shop=2,3us$)

*LS-40 and LS-40-01, does it always come with red levercover or can I have
other color also?

You can select from 6 colors ( RED,BLUE,GREEN,YELLOW,BLACK,PINK)
White is not available.

*Do you sell dustcover in other color that black?

Black ONLY

*What does this weigh?
http://www.seimitsu.co.jp/oemcontrolpanel/58.gif

Approx 2kg without packing box.

*If I buy for example a LS-40-01, can I have theLS-32-01 mountingplate on
it?

LS-40-01’s mountingplate is not same LS-32-01. There are 3 types of mountingplate:
32-01 type , 40 type ,55 type.

*Do you sell mountingplates (metalplate on the joystick)?

YES, connector 105yen (connector is needed always)+
mountingplates 210yen. (I will sell connector for 130yen and plates for 270yen).

*Do you sell optical joystick?

Optical = flash is right ?
If so, They have no plan near the future.

*What other parts do you sell that is not presented in the catalog?
Not exist.

Question for Sanwa Denshi:

*Why did Sanwa stop selling FLASH-joystick?

High cost, Low profit.

*If I order 500pcs of JLHS-8Y FLASH1 what would it cost (there are many
people who want to buy it)?

This stick is the imported item.
Sanwa imported 10,000 pcs last time.
Now Sanwa has not a importing plan.
If you will order 500pcs(they think small qty), this order will not be
accepted.

*On the Hori Real Arcade Pro Special Addition joystick there is Vermillion
OBSF-30RG, do you sell them also?

OBSF-30RG Vermillion is exclusive supply for HORI HRAP SA.
So, can’t gwt.

*What does this weigh?
http://www.sanwa-d.co.jp/p_p_6ar.gif

2.2kg with packing box.

*What does JLF-P1 cost?

The cost is 380yen (I sell 490yen. This is the mountingplate on JLF-TP-8YT).

*Will you make any new type of balls or buttons in the near future?

Sanwa will list on web near the future.


That was everything. Please discuss if you like. Personally I am wondering who is making the flashsticks because they said that it was imported item. Also, if somebody want to co-order with me 10.000 pcs send me an email LOL!!
Some questions they answered different from before…like about the mountingplates for sanwa, they told me they did not sell it, but when I ask to buy a JLF-P1 they understood.
Also, now we can buy the 5-pin cable little cheaper :D.

Those are some great questions that were asked. It’s nice to know we can get some cheap 5-pin cables now. It’s too bad about the Flash sticks though. 500 is so large when we think from a consumer standpoint but obviously nothing from a manufacturers standpoint. The most I’d be willing to buy is about 10 sticks. So now you only nee 9,990 more orders! : )

Oh and for you people who don’t check the trading forums much, TRNG is CONSIDERING making some more custom sticks if there is enough interest. So hope on over to that forum and post so we can all get some awesome TRNG sticks in the near future!

I have a question

is the mounting plate on the Sanwa JLW-TM-8 compatible with the Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y ??

The reason I ask is because I currently have Seimitsu sticks in my mini neo cab and my regular sanwa sticks dont match up with the seimitsu mounting plates. From the looks of it I think the TM-8 plat will fit but I need to know if the Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y can mount up to it.

JumpsuitJesse
Depends on what you mean by compatible. What joystick do you have in your cab right now (what model Seimitsu, take a pic of the mountingplate if you can)?

real neo geo I also got a Q, is it true or merely a rumor ( i believe the latter would be true) that HRAP 2 will no longer support LS-32-01 due to the mounting plate? If so, that would suck ass big time as my friend leaves to japan tomorrow morning and will be purchasing some stuff for me from mak-japan. In addition to that question, does mak japan sell the ls-32-01 With the wiring harness or will I have to buy that separate? Please tell me it comes included with the joystick by default (regularly) otherwise i’m screwed. Thanks again and oh btw, i’m going with the set up we discussed a while back. :tup:

Chozen1
I have no idea of what the new HRAP2 will have inside.
About MAK_Japan, I bought LS-32-01 from them long time ago and it cost something like 1700 or 1800-yen and I think the cable was included (not 100%). If you buy at some other places in akihabara you have to buy the cable for 430yen I think so who knows.

Well thats just it. There is no mounting plate. The stick is mounted directly to the control panel.

If you look at at Seimitsu without a mounting plate you see that is has those 4 screw holes in on the corners. My mini neo cab doesnt have welded studs or bolts for a mounting plate. It just has 4 holes and only uses 4 tiny screws that mount into the blue body of the seimitsu.

The problem is, Sanwa doesn’t line up to those holes. So I wanted to know if you have a plate that can hold fit sanwa but can also fit a Seimitsu.

JumpsuitJesse
I do not think there is a mountingplate that can hold both a JLF and a Seimitsu (what model?), sorry.

Is anybody interested in pink meshballs? I can only get pink, not green (they are sold out).
Price is 400-500yen each (3.40 - 4.25us$). Let me know…

Pics…

I’ll take one! Can you add it to my current order?

Mayhem
Nej, för jag har de inte än, men jag kan när jag själv beställer från Sverige om det går bra?

Oj, råkade skriva svenska :). What I ment was I don`t have it now but if some people want it then I will order for myself also and I could ship to you from Sweden.

Yes I am interested in some too.:tup:

OK, nice. I figure I buy like 30 of them and have it stashed because when they are gone from the shops then they are gone for good.

TRNG - I will take a red/pink (i dunno what color it is) mesh balltop along with my order. Its the same size as the Seimitsu LB-35 balltop correct?

Man those pink meshballs look dope. I wish they had been available when I ordered my parts. Oh well, hopefully there will still be some left next time I order.

I will order some balls then.

coN
Have you placed on order already or…? It is same as LB-35 in size yes.

LoneWarrior
I hope they will be around for some time also.

The real neogeo: About when will you expect your April 2nd order to be sent out? Thanks in advance, I am Mr. Fletcher btw.
