Can someone give me guidence on a Gamecube pcb, I already solder the cables Im wating for the Sanwa kit to come, Its hard to connect??

godspu · February 22, 2010, 9:03pm

nice job!cost sounds really reasonable to pay a plastic house to have it done too, did you know someone who works there or just walk in? how did you mount the joystick? don’t see any bolts.

loving the analogs. nice work.

Sugar_Kane · February 22, 2010, 9:38pm

That’s the one, man! I just won it. Can’t believe I got another namco…

Sh33p · February 22, 2010, 10:00pm

How much did it go for?

Sugar_Kane · February 22, 2010, 10:10pm

The princely sum of 11, but I’ll see what the true cost is once I factor in delivery to here.

Sh33p · February 22, 2010, 10:37pm

That’s awesome, but with the delivery, I’m sure it’s not under 40. Which isn’t bad really, they’re pretty solid sticks, right? I remember seeing an advert in the Tekken 3 box, that brings back some good memories, I’d love to get my hands on one of those, if only just for the nostalgia.

@Sugar_Kane Congrats on ur nice namco. Are u using third party site to help u win the auction like me or thats u only bidding like ebay.

Sugar_Kane:

@meus: I messed up, the first picture was one that I WAS going to bid on but didn’t, the one I actually bid on still seems to be going, although I have been outbid and I’m willing to bet that it’s your doing!

I took delivery of one of the two Agetecs, that I picked up from eBay, this morning. Both were advertised as boxed, and so far I don’t doubt the description:

but… the guy actually used the original box as packaging for this one! It’s pretty beaten now. I can’t believe that anyone could do that, especially if you use it as a selling point. That’s like selling a car and then driving it to the buyer’s house at 100mph, smashing it into walls on the way, and then leaving it in their driveway, upside down in a pool of cat urine. Anyway, if that alone wasn’t bad enough, the guy didn’t even use padding of any kind, the stick was just loose in the box!

Got my art from Tek Innovations in Saturday, and put it on yesterday. Today you get the pics as I was able to finally take my eyes of the beauty. I love it so much! <3. Just wired for 360 since I already have a dual-modded stick, just have to fix the jab button on it.

and on the bottom:

Templates were done by me. All snowy out so I can’t take good pics of it, but it must be seen in person to be believed.

Thanks to Art for the artwork/plexi. Bought the black meshball off of kooper, (i believe that’s his name), and the 6 red sanwas from KetchyKetch. I love the lighter shade of the reds, man!

Thanks for lookin’. Imma go rock it at the tournaments and show all y’all what’s up with that 'Gat, baby. :rock:

If you all want a shot of the templates let me know and I’ll post it up so you can better see the details.

If you going to get rid of those parts hit me up, I’d like use some yellow buttons and balltop for my next stick.

ibeatu · February 23, 2010, 2:37am

Nice te cobra i see u like those vermillon buttons

Sugar_Kane · February 23, 2010, 2:41am

I used a third party site for this one, but I got the two Agetecs from ebay uk, and I’ve just won another namco on there too (that makes 3 agetecs and 3 namcos now!), although this one looks like it has screws missing on the faceplate, anyone know what size screws I’d need to replace them?

wetworker · February 23, 2010, 3:54am

Nice work!!
Did you use the machine wash plugins for Photoshop? I love the textured look. 10/10

Thanks. And yeah, I love 'em. If the stick was a girl I’d go out with it, lmao.

ComradeTao · February 23, 2010, 3:55am

Hey man, I’m sure enough people have said this before, but you really have to watch the image quoting. People are going to come down on you hard for it and you may even end up with an infraction.

Ketchy_Kech · February 23, 2010, 4:49am

awesome stick / art , i likes it very much!

mxdcomplex · February 23, 2010, 5:09am

Are there any pros to the mesh ball top like: feel, grip, etc?

masturfader · February 23, 2010, 5:09am

no, its for looks only.

mxdcomplex · February 23, 2010, 5:16am

Thanks for the quick response, that’s what I figured.

ESCOBEN · February 23, 2010, 5:25am

but they do look way better i have one tho the $12 price seems like robbery but then again its only 12 bucks.

jdm714 · February 23, 2010, 6:06am

There is not even a feel.
The only difference is what your eyes see.
