Korean arcade parts discussion

Golden Fanta Is in Production now. I only make about 10-20 sets, deepens on the time I got at my workshop. I will update when it is ready

@Antonio-o-o better not to miss it this time.

Hey, @wazwuz was wondering where we can purchase your grommets at

Ha! Count me in Victor.

FA is still considering our offer. so maybe for this time you can bought directly from me.
I will let you all know when it is ready. Estimated about 1-2 weeks from now.

Nice thank you.

And please definitely count me in the golden fanta project.

@wazwuz count me in also.

Hello all,

So I decide to include parts that work best from the first batch, the second batch will have:

Brass Shaft: 8mm and 10mm (default fanta is 9mm)
Bronze Actuator : 15.5mm and 16mm (default fanta is 16.5mm)
Silicone Grommet : Green 45, Sky Blue 55, Dark Blue 60, Red 65 (default fanta is latex black 55)
Acrylic Switch Support

Price would be 39USD/set
Shipping to US is 20USD

To be honest, I add small profit for this second batch to fund my next project “Golden Crown”. thank you for your support

I only make around 10sets for this second batch.

@wazwuz you left me off the list .

@wazwuz I didn’t make it on the list, but I was the second or third person to say I wanted a set.

Really can’t wait for the details on the Golden Crown project :smiley:

@wazwuz What changes to the crown stick are you considering?
There already exists a conversion shaft and the tension you sell I believe. I don’t know about the diameter of the shafts or the actuators so I don’t really know what changes need to be made.

I have a stupid question for you guys, but I haven’t been able to find an answer in the web. How do you replace, and install a new bat top on myoungshin fanta levers? I know jlf levers have a notch that you can insert a flat head screw driver underneath the shaft but I don’t see it with korean levers such as the myoungshin fanta.

You don’t with the stock shaft. Get a conversion shaft or if you have a spare jlf shaft laying around use that just use the stock fanta actuator.

Edit note. I hate autocorrect.

Thank you.

Now for the golden fanta shaft, is it basically a conversion shaft? Will i be able to install an ALU series battop on it? I dont have any spare battops lol

@sgraff1 You might even prefer the ALU to other joysticks because of the weight. In short, yes you can. The only issues you might find are with the clear battop and the ball tops. This is because the shaft in the Golden Fanta kit is more of a JLW conversation shaft than a JLF. This means regular ball tops and the clear battop should mount too high.

hmm, alright, so what do I do, just tighten it in on the shaft?

Yep. I would suggest using some kind of glue as well but not if you want to change the battop. This is because the shaft in Korean joysticks can unscrew that battop because of its friction with the tension grommet, but you might not see that as a problem as mileage does vary. Just make sure to show us the pictures afterward! :slight_smile:

I will keep that in mind. Was the Helpme one a limited release or something? Seems hard to find right now. I have never ever heard of a kazer lever or an airbag one before but interested in finding out.

Simple supply and demand. I’m sure Crown loves hard currency. :slight_smile:

The second batch will be ready this weekend. please inbox me your info:

IDK, I haven’t get any crown yet ( I will order an 309MJ after this). maybe I will make the same like golden Fanta (shaft, actuator, grommet). when you change the actuator, shaft, grommet, and switch, you will get different experience, then you can decide which combination you like the best.

the idea of golden project is “your cup of tea is not my cup of tea” everyone have their own preference.
