Is there any chance you’ll have Sanwa OBSN 24mm Screwbutton in white? I can’t even find screwbutton rims in white (in the mix and match section) I’m looking to make yet another huge order and I need 8 of those, but I’m having trouble locating these bad boys.

2942

I’m afraid that Sanwa does not make the OBSN 24mm in white. Oddly they do for their snapbuttons and 30mms, but the colors you see on the site are the ones that they manufacture.

We’re working on a new category that will allow you to special order parts we don’t yet have at the store, such as Seimitsu PS-14-GN screwbuttons which are in white. This will launch in May.

Any promos/coupons going on right now? Dont really need anything, but I want to burn some money on gaming stuff.

2944

Keep an eye out for this weekend, as we’ll re-activate the QANBA coupon code for 10% off accessories. This will include the new Defender backpack. Right now, photos on Eightarc’s site:

do you know if its possible to take the silent sanwa innards and put them in a more appealing sanwa button (example, translucents or clears) thereby having a silent translucent/clear button?

2946

yes. the only difference between a silent button and a regular button is the felt washer.

2947

Do you guys have the Qanba Q1, or plans to stock it?

2948

I know this is an almost weekly question but are you ever going to stock the newer Crown joysticks that mount on Sanwa plates JMAN?

2949

when do you guys usually restock? you’re all out of black sanwa buttons! :smiley:

2950

Sup Jaleel placed another order. Thanks for the service man. I remember when you first opened up. It’s been a while.

2951

We’re working with a supplier to get these. ETA isn’t confirmed yet, but yes, we’re definitely looking into it.

We will begin stocking those soon. Getting them into our distribution center.

We just got word that our restock order shipped today. Should have black Sanwa in stock by this Friday. :slight_smile:

I got my Qanba Defender bag earlier this week and can confirm that the Fighting Edge fits in it like a glove. I was laughing when I saw the bag because it looks like a camping bag; it’s awesome though and I love it. If you remove the inner lining, which protects the joystick, you can use the backpack like you would any other.

2953

Another placed order, another fast shipping & a very happy customer!! Thanks once again!! :slight_smile:

Any news about Silver and Gold Sanwa Balltop ?

2955

Unfortunately, Sanwa made only 125 pieces each. Our supplier didn’t get a pricing that was worthwhile for us to import them. However, I hear that Arcade Shock managed to score some pieces from the Expo. http://www.arcadeshock.com/items/sanwa-denshi-parts~buttons-balltops-gates-/sanwa-denshi-lb-35-silver-gold-brushed-balltop-lb35-silgol-detail.htm

If we can’t get them, at least we can help you find them. :slight_smile:

Hey Jman, How durable are the quartz clear plunger and caps? The tabs on my clear sanwas break often so I’m just wary of clear plastic breaking. The tabs on the caps need to be pushed in to remove them from the button rims so I’m scared these might break when I’m trying to remove them. Thanks.

2958

Motoyuki,

I can’t really say how durable the Quartz cap and plunger set tabs are in comparison. No tests in particular were done for that, but we never had any reports of the tabs on Sanwa button plungers breaking. We remove the plungers from button rims in our Mix & Match category hundreds of times - more than anyone else would do - and we never broke any of the tabs. That said, the tabs really don’t need that much effort to remove; you really don’t have to push the tabs in that much to free the plunger from the rim housing. If you have an allen key, try using it to gently push the tab in and up. The other tab should rise up in the housing as well, freeing the plunger from the rim.

2959

ok thanks for the info. I’m sure if you haven’t broken them with your mix and match orders they are pretty resilient. I will be placing my order soon.

Did my part to help “stimulate” the local economy.
(No thanks to the Mario Bros! Stingy plumbers…!)
Got the Sanwa LE Silver and Gold balltop handles today…

One of each.
I really didn’t expect to get the gold one (not crazy about gold; stuff’s hard to color match) but thought about it; I’ve got an art design I finished where this would fit… that and my collector mania kicked in.

I torture myself when I pass up stuff that I have half a hankering to get. That’s the problem when logic and emotional neediness collide. :frowning:

I’ve kick myself in the butt in the past for NOT sacrificing some other parts orders/movie buys to get LE balltops from Sanwa (lollipop swirl; past “metal” balltops) and butteroj (cherry red, yellow, light blue – are swirly Pearls). :frowning: These two handles will DEFINITELY soothe that pain a bit! The silver will probably go on my Diamond VLX – at least temporarily. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the off-site link, jman… You will be getting orders sent your way from me in the future!

You’re store is WAY closer to me than the other guys!
My frontyard is practically within spitting distance.

P.S. – What happened to the emoticons??? The link for them disappeared and I can’t find them!
