Korean arcade parts discussion

Is there any way to get that golden fanta upgrade kit?

Has anyone here ever shopped with Gmarket? Put in an order that they say is cancelled and refunded but it hasnā€™t registered in my bank account yet. I want what I ordered, but I donā€™t know if everything is ok on their end. Is this normal?

Edit. It shows the payment but not the refund

How many business days has it been since they issues the refund?

Does anyone know a site that possibly sells grommets for any Korean lever thatā€™s not Etokki?

The transaction and refund were emailed to me within 3 hrs Friday. Itā€™s only Tuesday morning now. If my stuff just comes in the mail one day thatā€™s cool; I just wanted to stay on top of things.

I would give it another few days before panicking. Banks typically drag their asses when processing refunds to prevent reduce fraud.

Just recovered from NCR. Still have to do other Golden Fanta combinations but for the event I sticked with the Green Arcade combination. Outside of nervousness affecting my performance, that combination felt fine when playing KOF or Tekken. Sure the corners are small but I was able to electrics or do some of the weirder KOF super inputs efficiently although thatā€™s more adjustment than anything.

Also more pics of Infiltrationā€™s Crown SDL-301DX lever here and here. I will get that along with the SDB-201 buttons when any store has em ready.

Here? Might have to deal with slow shipping atm but they do ship it.

There was that initial run and some of us are still researching for the best combination.

I put Panasonic am51630c69n switches on my Myoungshin, and they are very nice. I have a set of Omron V-152-6A5 that I havenā€™t tried, but Iā€™ll be shocked if theyā€™re an improvement.

Update: instead of refunding the money to my bank account, they refunded it to my PayPal account. Forgot that was even an option. Repurchased and on its way now. Feel like an asshole right now.

Anyone know where I could find a 309 helpme lever, outside of makestick?
I really donā€™t wanna pay the $25 shippingā€¦

I emailed FocusAttack a few days ago about this, and they said that they plan on a Crown restock by the end of the month. So, hopefully theyā€™ll become an option again soon.

Cool. I guess Iā€™ll sign up for the ā€œemail me when this is back in stock.ā€

Iā€™ve seen the golden fanta mods here and I got to thinkinā€™ : If you had one, could you recreate a facsimile of the Taeyoung Fanta? I have two and much prefer the microswitch placement to Myungshinā€™s. If I sent one off to a talented individual, could they make it happen? Talked to a guy on the Tekken Discord and he was willing to buy one off me and couldnā€™t help but wonderā€¦

Bought my kit second hand. Using the circled parts along W/ red tab getting switches for all 4 directions. Love the tension. I find the cone actuator is the only one Im having good diagonal input in SFV.

Any chance of getting the acrylic switch plate? Previous owner of the kit kept it.

@butteroj Wow, That stick is amazing. Have you tried any other micro switches with that set up? Also, those screws look different from the regular ones, I couldnā€™t help but notice.

if thats my kit, it didnt come with one, it was a separate option i did not buy. the only extras i got was the skyblue grommet.

Iā€™ve tried the light blue, dark blue and red grommets as well as the largest standard actuator. This setup gave the best corners.

The stick is a 5-8 yr old Fanta, green top, maybe even a Taeyong. Probably why the different screws.

I stand corrected

Might have to revisit using the cones actuator and try the red grommets. They work with my current microswitch setup (Cherry D45Y) and dark blue grommet.

I have this Korean stick. Is it any good? The last time I used it it didnā€™t feel too good for SF5. I think itā€™s a Crown 307. Is there a way to make Diagonals better and just make the stick feel better in general?

Could switches effect how well can you hit the corners?
i really debating on messing with switches in stead of buying a 309 to replace my 307.
