here in Germany are no arcades. No friend of mine has a arcade stick ^^ I even start to think that iam the only one in germany with 24mm buttons lol.
I thought they would be better, because 30mm buttons are for stubby fingers^^
nevermind i do it with the 24mm buttons.
Pics are comming next week
Yes man, I want to see this.
Not many Arcade Sticks here with 24mm Buttons.
Another question came up^^
Is it possible to turn the mounting plate from the joystick about 90 degree? I want to assemble the plate vertical. I hope thats possible. Or did they fix the mounting plate to the joystick?

The Joystick can be mounted however you want to.
You don’t have to remove Mounting Plate, you can, but don’t need to.
For my first arcade stick, I had to rotate the mounting plate itself, otherwise the wiring harness wouldn’t fit. So if you’re like me and need the wiring harness in a certain position, you can rotate the mounting plate by simply removing the screws underneath the dust washer.
That’s the hard way to do it. You can just take off the gate, then rotate the PCB. No screwdrivers required.
The second time I had to rotate my JLF it for mounting in a different stick, I tried the other method. I probably saved an extra 30 seconds over the screwdriver method, but also lost a good 30 seconds to having to wash the grease off my hands afterwards.
Rotating the PCB also doesn’t solve the issue of the extra tabs on the sides of the main body piece. I remember my first case from QCF Gaming had the joystick mounting area routed out so that it just barely fit around the rectangular mounting plate. By default the JLF mounting plate is screwed in so that it lays perpendicular to the tabs, so the extra width prevented me from mounting it in the case. The only solution was to rotate the mounting plate so that the tabs laid parallel and out of the way.
I’ve only seen JLF with JLF-P-1 parallel to the Tabs on JLF Base.
Except for JLF with JLF-P-1S of course, that needs to be perpendicular to Tabs.
Your Sanwa JLF with Flat Mounting Plate was perpendicular? :shake:
That makes for weird.
Yeah, okay. I just browsed through a bunch of random images of JLF’s on Google and it would appear that most of them are screwed in parallel.
I did find one contradicting picture though, so perhaps every once in a while they get screwed together in the perpendicular fashion.
So i will have no problems turning the mounting plate? As i I said the 95mm breadth from the plate wont fit in my case. So i need to turn it around.
Is the drawing of mounting plate they send with my JLF-TP-8YT.
Starcade RIP said it.
And I said it.
You do not need to rotate the Mounting Plate.
Just remove the Restrictor Gate and turn the PCB.
This is how you do.

Just put back on the PCB however you want.
Then snap back on Restrictor Gate.
You see this guy rotate the PCB.

And then when you get how you want the PCB oriented, just wire up according to this.
So really, the only time you will want to turn the Mounting Plate is in case of earlyberd.
As in how you see in the picture he posted.
Or do you have a different situation?
Something I am not understand?
thank you I will look if everything will work fine. Maybe i just have to wait until the stick ships to see how it will fit.
Here are some picture:
Box with PCB:
Had no plastic box so I had to fuse it with duct tape…
Faceplate made from Metal sheet already polished:
Assemble with case and Metal sheet but without art yet:
at end of week I upload pictures with art and buttons/joysticks.
But know you see why i cant assemble the mounting plate horizontal. there is no space to do so. nevertheless next week will it be done yay 
Cool work.
Double the fun.
Just mount the Joystick however you want.
Nothing needs to be modified, unscrewed, rotate, whatever.
Yep but know i have a problem with the art. I think the screws will be visible to mount the joystick. which kind a sucks.
I didnt think about a second plate for the art… damn
You can countersunk like how you did for putting on Metal Plate.
Then just screw in where the holes on Mounting Plate are.
Or you can just not use the Mounting Plate.
Countersunk Metal Plate like how did for putting on.
Then screw on where screws for Mounting Plate would go.
yeah but if i have to change the joystick or something i need to pull out the screws.
If i get it right you mean to countersunk the faceplate for mounting plate then assemble the joystick before putting on the art.
Or did I get something wrong? -.-
Edit: And am I right that i can control if everything should work properly with a circuit indicator?
Here are pictures. sadly taken by mobile phone.
No art because my boss started to stress me out.

Art from BLAME! Assembled while being stressed out :_)

Notice for next time:
Dont get stressed an assemble the art after stick.
They are working well and thank you all for your help and support.
24mm Buttons with 30mm Button Spacing?
And I thought you were going to have the screws hidden under art.
But good work anyways.
You are totally right. The buttons are to far away to reach them in action. I aligned to fit the button size.
Now i got a question regarding the joystick mod shown her:

Is it possible to do this mod with a Seimitsu Spring LS-32? He uses a LS-33.
