and there is the chim :slight_smile: i was thinking of doing that but i sold both my namco’s to nifty :slight_smile:

I’m almost done sanding and cleaning out the majority of the case for the mod, but I was wondering what would be the best way to mount a JLF and make it future proof for opticals and such later on? I’m not too keen on using the Hori shaft as I wouldn’t be familiar with how it feels and with selling off the majority of the other gaming merchandise I have, will be the only stick I use in a long time. I saw a method where they counter sunk the top panels and removed a portion of the plastic, but what other methods are there to mount it without having to dremel the bottom panel?

mh, guys there is any namco layout .ai template for making art?

I have 2 of this babys (pay 5 bucks for each one a few years ago in a flea market i use to work) one is in perfect condicion but the other one the joystick deadzone is very loose… i took apart the joytick to stretch a little bit the spring but is still very loose… do anybody know if i replace the spring with a JLF-SP or ls-32 spring will fix this baby?

yuou should be able to use whatever sanwa/seimitsu spring you want. I put a ls-56 spring in for more tension. I can’t stand loose sticks.

Im gonna give it a try whit a new spring …i had this baby in a corner collecting dusts for years… but after reading all this post my love grow again…hope someday i found another one for modding (or in case this one doesnt feel good after i change the spring im gonna mod’it)…

Men where do you buy your namco’s stick?
I love this stick but find it in Europe is impossible…

Anyone knows where can i buy it?

So who all is bidding on this?

I don’t know, but you guys could have picked those up in my sale thread a week ago before I decided to put them on eBay. :V

how much was the soul edge going for in the trading outlet?

I had it at $150 shipped but nobody bit, so I listed it on eBay starting at $10 but with a Buy-It-Now of $150 with an offer of free shipping if the BIN was used. Ironically, I’ve gotten more than a handful of eBay messages from users ā€œcomplainingā€ that they would have jumped on the offer if they had seen the auction in time before the first bid was placed. Shucks.

people were actually willing to pay 150 for it?

That’s absolutely insane.

I’d bought the Soul Edge bundle Namco stick for $100 shipped.

Just painted the panel on one that had some blemishes. Theres also a meshball on it, just cant see in the pic.

you should post a bigger pic nice to see u using the 2 i sold u :slight_smile:

yea they’re great…i was pretty happy i didnt ruin the pcb as it was my second time soldering anything. The other one is just sooo minty fresh I wont be doing anything to it. I’ll post some bigger ones soon :slight_smile:

Would love to see some close-ups of your yellow namco. looks very good.
