Ur welcome hope i was helpful to u on finding ur first namco and hope u like the namco stick as me too.

Raoul_Duke · December 8, 2009, 4:46am

:love:I love it! As soon as I got it I started playing 3rd Strike and it felt awesome. The stick was a little more loose than I was used to but that is to be expected of a 13 year old stick. Anyone ever put new springs in?

meus · December 8, 2009, 5:06am

Yes the namco joystick are little loose. u can add new or mod with 2 springs. what about the buttons how does it feel for u.

Raoul_Duke · December 8, 2009, 5:21am

The buttons feel great! As good as Sanwa or Seimitsu IMO.

Oh boy, Oh boy.
I’m going to be receiving Art’s plexi cover very soon for the Namco stick.
I’ll keep you kids updated.

d0c_zaius · December 8, 2009, 5:28am

Wow Art is doing plexis for namcos now?!

Raoul_Duke · December 8, 2009, 5:30am

Awesome! I don’t see those on his site. Is it a special order?

meus · December 8, 2009, 5:32am

Yes he is thanks to net.

B/c he is still making them and will post later. Net will have the first prototype.

Raoul_Duke · December 8, 2009, 5:38am

Uh oh, this can only make Namco’s more popular. I still want 2 more!

jdm714 · December 8, 2009, 5:39am

Yes, what meus said.

Art's Hobbies Big Update! 1/32" Acrylic, V.S., Pro, Qanba, HRAP V3/VX, Custom Art Dustwashers

Hey Guys, got some big things on the horizon so I’ve kept myself extremely busy. Here’s a list of things I want to update you guys on:

Agetec
Mirror Plexis
Namco Cover
HRAP Top access kit
HRAP Plexi Panel - replaces metal panel for custom button configurations
Plexi Fightstick Cases

So lets begin…

…

Namco Covers

I’ve done a prototype already and the first few pieces will go to Networkingpuppy for testing and confirmation before I make them available. I should be sending them out later the upcoming week so I’m hoping to set these up in a couple weeks. The main thing to note is because the screw holes all have a dip, it’s really easy to over screw and crack the plexi. So a lot of care is needed to install the namco plexi. I will explain more when the cover goes up.

…

The Namco Arcade Stick that is networkingyuppy is the one I gave him.
Laugh.

Having BRIEFLY come in contact with Tiggy’s Namco at a tournament last month, I really want to get one of my own. I need another PS2 stick and this is portable enough to go with me anywhere!

So I am starting my hunt for the Namco, hopefully before the holidays. We shall see. Wish me luck!

networkingyuppy · December 8, 2009, 5:44am

Yesh. JDM is the man for supplying me with a Namco stick.

Raoul_Duke · December 9, 2009, 4:05am

Here a some better pics of my Namco. I posted these in the new stick thread also, but i thought it may be appreciated more here.

networkingyuppy · December 9, 2009, 4:09am

oooo… Black Labels…

NAP · December 9, 2009, 5:20am

Ahh, memories. I miss the PS1 days.

networkingyuppy · December 11, 2009, 8:08am

Hell if I want to go all out…
Behold, dual modded Namco stick w/ a dpdt switch and featuring,
Sanwa Snap ins, JLF on a Namco??? and…
Art’s 1st Namco custom plexi panel!!!

MiniFoo · December 11, 2009, 8:23am

That’s one fine-looking stick. Great cable management too, especially how small those Namco sticks are on the inside. I’m still kicking myself in the ass that I didn’t snatch up one of these for $5 on craigslist because it was going to be a 45-min+ drive each way.

Five. Fucking. Dollars.

networkingyuppy · December 11, 2009, 8:31am

$5 dollars?!?!?!?! Wow. That is a steal! Matter of fact it should be grand larceny.
