If you want to buy a custom arcade stick

[System_1]

ahh ok, I’m pretty glad that came up, otherwise trouble I would be in
It’s ok, I won’t do anything like that, I’m pretty happy at the moment just lurking and reading the forums and what people have to say. A lot of really useful stuff here.
thanks guys, maybe see you in six months on the trading post that is

ok… here is the deal… i have looked at all of the suppliers and they make great stuff, but not quite what i am looking for…A stick that works for dreamcast, has a solid amound of weight to it, and also supports a further clutku mod(which wont need to be done by you… the maker of this product)

… i am looking for a happ bassed stick(MAS-style) with 30mm semitsu buttons in a straight-6(american pattern)… a hybrid of sorts… all the retailers say “ok i can do that”… until i mention the wood i want used’ i would like the outside of the stick made from oiled teak( a truly waterproof wood)… with a panel made so that it can accomodate snap in buttons and the highest grade plexi( i know there is a similar product that starts with “l” that is better, i’d like that)… for the stick/button orientation, i would want it american style with a happ p360, BUT 6 30mm sanwa-rg orange buttons arranged in the american style (each dash representing a button ===) the first person to complete this can name their price within reason, though i wont go over $200 fof a mainly american stick. the thing about teak is it should never touch varnish, just a maserful smoothing process then athe application of a very high priced oil… if you dont want to pay for the oil… send me the near finsihed project and ill do it myself…other than the box , all i need is the p360 properly wired to the first two buttons in the ground chain, i will do the rest of the work.

asking price is $225 considering that i am offering to do half the dirty work, but… and i repeat BUTT… the teak used must be vintage teak(easy to find if you live in a shipyard) … this wood actually becomes more beautiful with blemishes, but those are for me to do, so it better arrive at my house spotless.

p.s. - i do not use email because they are communist bastards, i can either send you a money order, or buy you something of equal value from amazon(maybe ven a little more pricey:)…id prefer the amazon route as i have paid 79.99 against my will to recieve 2 day shipping for the rest of the year… so i might as wll use it on one of my srk buddies

this is first come first serve fellas…
first one to reach me at "misterselector@gmail.com" with the credentials gets the job

WOW dude, it sounds like it will be a privilege to build your stick.

Is it just me, or does this dude sound a bit difficult?

That’s some hefty demands, and a snotty sounding attitude as well.

Maybe, I’m injecting snark where there is none, but the refusal to Paypal, plus the “maserful(sic) smoothing process” and “high priced oil” parts made me LOL.

Vintage teak? Shouldn’t be a problem IF YOU LIVE IN A SHIPYARD?

I dunno…is anyone lining up to have the presumed HONOR of crafting this stick?

Maybe I’m just in a mood, but the request sounds…snotty.

BTW anyone know where to get a “Clutku” board? AHAHHAHAHAHA!

I couldn’t agree more. Stick builders build customs because they love to, and because they like to give back to community, not because its some lucrative business; most of the time there is only marginal profit to be had.

This person here is demanding that a stick “BETTER” be built to his specifications. That kind of demanding and overbearing attitude is not going get you any closer to building your custom. It’s much easier for the stick builder to not take your order, then have to deal with a customer of your sorts. Goodluck finding your Clutku.

I don’t think you will find anyone to build one for you for less than $200. You want a custom stick, expect a custom price.

Exactly. The only way you can get a sweet custom stick is if you either A.) Work out a trade/deal to lower the price with the builder, or B.) Build it yourself. By building it yourself, you’re saving on the labor costs, and obviously, you have to learn to do it all yourself, but it’s very fun to do.

Either way, best of luck getting a custom stick, man.

[Pro_One]

Yeah 200 is really like the minimum now days. The inside parts are around 120 to start even more if you dual mod it.

[System_1]

thanks for the help i may just settle for a TE stick then

well… it really depends how much effort you want to put into it…

I got a NorrisArcade a blank case for my custom, and I put everything together my self.

after 3 weeks of constant work… the stick ended up costing me around 250-260
total. :wow:

by doing DIY, it means I need to buy parts and material to work on the stick
mask, sand paper, tape, wire, polisher, cloth, and the most costly for me… paint (spent $80 to get what I wanted)

So… if you want to DIY, first, consider do you have the tools already, and are you gonna use those tools later on or not…
if not… I suggest to get a custom build… even though the initial price tag does seems to be a bit high

ps: I regret not discovering SRK and stick building until last yaer… if i know about stick building back in 4 years ago… when I was in high school wood shop… where tool and material isn’t a restriction… i might produce some awesome stick…

Shameless promo I build mainly bartop arcade cabs but am working on a getting a couple sticks done in the new year feel free to check out some of my bartop work at freekade.co.uk and my latest sub mini bartop at

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=96035.0

not really had any ideas on pricing yet I guess it would depend on what I go with oh and they will be mame and PS3 for the first ones. I would not have any for sale if I do end up producing them until the latter half of next year as I am pretty tied up with other things but I will for sure upload some pics when I done with the first ones for me to play with.

I think a lot of people on here build mainly as they love games and as such dont turn a great deal of cash so are very limited by time to build, perhaps the reason for the low number of builders?

Cheers
