I dont think im suitable for adopting at the moment. Due to the work load I am under at the moment I would probably end up neglecting you, only to turn up to the workshop one day to find you laying dead in a foetal position behind my table saw. lol
Thanks for sorting that one for me
I am willing to sell the Gambit custom for** £280 + shipping WITHOUT the stick, buttons and pcb’s.**
$300 is a little too rich for my blood, but man do these cases look worth all that scratch -and this is what you make with your scrap? My god, man. Excellent stuff. Keep doing what you do.
Oh, and, quick question:
How do you install Neutriks into your cases? Do you have a harness or something? I know you place them in one of the button holes, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how.
Damn, $300 does sound like alot. I really hate the exchange rate as I end up losing alot of work like this. If I had to charge $160 for these blank cases I may aswell give them away for free.
With regards to the neutrik mounting all you need to do is place the neutrik jack into the hole and make sure its rotated how you want it. Stand the case on the rear side. I like to use a hot glue gun to pour some glue around the recess where the neutrik is sitting. Only fill it enough to cover the metal housing and make sure it doesnt touch the plastic section of the neutrik. Sometimes you may need to change it (due to it breaking as its prone to doing) so all you do is remove the 2 screws and replace the centre piece and the metal chassis will stay in there permanently.
Steam punk clock balltops are selling for £30 including shipping. The wind-up clocks actually work. I would honestly say that the clock balltop is only good for light use. Heavy use causes the top to pop off from the brass centre section which will require the customer to glue it back on with a stronger glue (polyurethane adhesive works the best). The way they are made at the moment the glue doesn’t hold up very well. At the end of the day its designed to be a pocket watch and not designed to take the abuse of an arcade stick. It would still be a nice balltop to add to the collection.
I am very interested in that Compact Grey Blank Case. But it may take some time to come up with that kind of cash. Is there a way I can reserve it with a down payment or something? I’m in the US, so it comes out to like $300, but I really like it.
