How much would you guys pay for one that not only looks used, but also has one button that doesn’t work, but does come with the kazuya/heihachi box(though it has a lot of wear/tear)? I’m thinking about getting one, and this is the only one I could find, but I don’t feel like I should pay over $30 for it when I’ve seen fully functioning ones come up before for that price or a little more.
Bewd, I wouldn’t pay more than $50 for one in good working condition.
$30 seems fair for one with a nonfunctional button.
I almost forgot to post back here! M K L, thanks for all that info on the Omron microswitches! That’s a great help. Now perhaps I can go about modding my Namco Joy Stick with quick disconnects! :wow:
jdm714, you’re as knowledgeable as ever! Thanks a bunch for the info on the Tokai Communication MM9-2 and MM9-3 switches! Now I know where to go about finding those switches if I ever need to repair my Namco buttons. :tup:
I’m curious about this actually. Zapf, how does your Namco feel with the JLF-CD shaft cover on it? Does the stick feel noticeably fatter than, say, a JLF with a shaft cover? And how did you go about cutting it?
I did the same thing, Ikagi.
The shaft is the same diameter of a Sanwa’s shaft, so the cover fits perfectly and feels just as it would on a JLF. Just be sure to cut it down from the bottom, as the JLF-CD is fatter at the bottom than the top.
I shaved it down with a Dremel.
Would there be any online retailers that sell these or is Ebay my only hope?
The Trading Outlet here on SRK, craigslist, local retro game stores/pawn shops, or ebay.
Thanks for the tips Kazujiro! I’ll report back to here once I confirm how it worked out. :tup:
yup it’s the lighting. The stick is lighter in color, so is the dust washer and the shaft is the regular stainless steel color.
Meus was mentioning this auction and I finally found it. I’m insanely jealous. It’s for two new sticks! The next buy-it-now is mine! :arazz:

!!! damn you meus
edit- i did see this the other day: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190334594108
but it’s too rich for me. i need the box though!!
I asked that guy what shipping was and he replied $50 USD and updated the auction. I’m convinced the Namco fans are batshit crazy. The last time I looked at the one with the busted Triangle button it was over $60.
Man fuck that. :bluu:
Kyle how did u find the link after auction. i thought in ebay after the deal is done ppl cant find the links anymore. i would have put the link up but didnt want to make ppl mad.
Edit: never kyle i find out how by googling lol. Please dont hate me b/c i bought both namco sticks
Yes right now im bidding on that namco that comes with box. That damn namco looks so sexy and as a new look.
bah! i need that box. i have to draw the line at price though, but i’d consider it if i still lived in australia.
true the price is at 125 usd now plus shipping does crazy
Oh, I found it on a completed search. Wasn’t even looking for it but damn… You win at eBay.
Cool when one pops up i will pm u asap. i was able to find another one with box in ebay for 50 yesterday in canada.
Damn what the hell? The prices of these things have gone up a lot. I think this thread single handedly drove the price of these sticks up. What would you guys pay for a NIB Namco stick?
See for yourself. Apparently people are willing to pay over $100 for one:

I wish people would round these up locally and sell them to SRK peeps for a decent price.
Yea I was able to get my hands on one in good condition and I want a second one so I can play the shit out of one of them and still have a back up. I probably wouldn’t even touch the backup, I would probably mod the main one once it died and just keep playing the shit out of it (Don’t worry Zeetes!). Thus far after a weekend of playtime (I got it Friday) its my favorite stick.
