Korean arcade parts discussion

@zero_requiem Is there a significant difference between having the microswitches further away with a large actuator vs closer together with a smaller actuator?

if this new lever mod works well, you guys need to figure out how to produce and distribute it :wink:

also @Rokwho how are you making or modding that actuator? i wonder if they can be 3d printed

Ah i understand now, the problems is the same when i design buttom switch support for GFM, then i revised the hole to get slightly biger and solved.
For fujin maybe we can solve the issue by make the lower part of GFM actuator diameter smaller and top parts (the area hitting switch lever) thiner.

Good news
End of This month, R-Tech, my friend who have green lever from green arcade will visit me for installing GFM on his stick and attending small tournament in my town. I ask him to bring his green lever, Then I will have opportunity to break down all green lever parts and measure it my workshop. I will share it to you guys. Hopefully we can make 100% excact replica of this green lever.

I’d definitely be in for the Ultimate K Stick package @wazwuz !

With all of this knowledge you’ve been gaining, have you given thought into making your own complete levers rather than just custom parts at some point?

Yes, actually I just mention it :stuck_out_tongue:

“So how about this for our next project:
making ultimate K-stick: Golden Parts + modular “fujin” plate + “superWho” Collar. it won’t cheap, but it will be the complete K-stick Experience.
feel free to give your opinion or idea”

I somehow glossed over that, but that sounds like a fantastic idea!

Could get feedback on here to really nail down the best configuration or supply the various parts to allow the user to customize to their specifications. Like you said, probably won’t be cheap but worth it for some. Could even make a base model too or a 309MJ equivalent for those that don’t want to convert their case to house a collared stick.

Hello All, Sorry for the long delay ( Workshop is Crazy Busy lately) but Now Golden Fanta and Golden Crown is ready for Order.

sounds great wazwuz liking the modular idea for fusion type plate gonna be even better now you have a actual green lever to work with
just my opinion but i would use plastic or delrin when you design fusion type plate as it acts as a small gate having a metal one rubbing it is gonna be a no no
either way you’ll figure it out looking forward to the end result

ok so I switched out the grommet for a 35st one and the problem appeared again (this time with up and down)

How often does this happen?

It changes the feel completely. With smaller actuators you kinda need the switch positioning changed depends tho really. There are a lot of factors involved

@wazwuz keep up the good work bro

That would be me. I bought a Fanta from Makestick and it had that smaller white actuator (15mm). Luckily I got the Golden Fanta kit.

lol I think I might of bought that stick at a game store in daegu, did it have a 360 pcb with blue crown buttons?

Try moving it around to make sure the inconsistencies are from the grommet? Like turning it to another position.

Hi Wazwuz. Is there anyway to order 2 sets of the Golden Crown mod to save on shipping?

PM me your paypal email and order, I will send paypal invoice

Thanks! I hit you up.

Back from TWT finals.

Unfortunately I failed my mission to get Knee’s Green lever for personal and scientific use. It’s mostly because of tournament and it would be rude to ask after he got eliminated in pools.

I will say that I showed Knee my Taeyoung lever with Golden Fanta’s 8mm shaft, 35A grommet and the discontinued 14.75mm actuator from the first pressing. He didn’t try it in tournament but he really liked the feel of the combination. I let him know that the parts are from you @wazwuz and he didn’t forget about it. He doesn’t really have the time to experiment with it. I also referred him to the Taeyoung on Etokki. Hopefully he has some time to try it out after this.

I did try his Green lever as a comparison and it’s really close to my combination. The only obvious differences are that there is more give on the initial push and the sling back to the neutral. It might seem weird to explain but when you try R-Tech’s lever @wazwuz you might get it. I think it might be the metal bushing for the grommet but that’s a guess.

To @blankaex I talked to Saint about the switches problem. The reason for his claim was because switches can vary in feel which I get. One set of Panasonic switches I got has one switch that triggers a bit differently. He did say he used a set of Panasonic switches for the finals.

Thank you, I glad Knee doesn’t forget abut Golden Fanta I gave him, hopefully he will test it and can give feedback to us.
Yes, the only difference is the Metal bushing, and make sense it will give more on the initial push.

I think I will use Omron Switch on my new Signature level.

I see this on Saint Tweet, interesting he didn’t use any metal actuator
