I used a paradise aluminum top so the extra .5 made it feel fine on my jlf. Its weird, I like 1.5 on JLF and 2 on hayabusa.
JLF springs fit in an LS-40?
Brian, any word on the levered D2RV-G microswitches? Got an order I wanna place with ya!
Sure, theyāre just taller. The biggest issue against them is when you try to use two springs. The LS-40 will not allow it. Canāt get the E-clip back on. I already know, though, that nothing more than the 2.5 is going in the LS-40. Iām pretty sure the same thing would happen with the 2.5 that would happen with more than one spring.
Finallyā¦our Sanwa /Seimitsu order arrived today!! 1,655 pieces were sitting in Customs here in Hawaii since the 10th! Now to add them to stock and put them away!
@JayDucky the D2RV-GL have been ordered!
Alright! Glad to hear it. I saw that a couple of button types I was looking at were out of stock. Working on my parts list and budget and another semi-big order will be hitting you soon.
Do you guys have a date when rev2 of the Kaimana board will be dropping?
@armi0024 & @SusanInParadise
You guys are awesome and some how still impress me.
After your flood of 1000 metric tons of arcade parts held up at customs you some how magically found time to send my order which I just got from the mail.
Holy-sweet-Jesus why I didnāt get a metal ball top earlier, this thing is awesome (as well as heavy).
No they donāt because I even tried to do that a while back. JLF spring does not fit over the spring flange.
Well this is going to be a GREAT few weeksā¦
**First up, **the rest of the Adapter plates arrived!!!
These will be going up in the store shortly and they LOOK AWESOME!!!
]We have been playing around with our laser for about 18 months (our silent washers are all done in house on the laser!), but have not ventured into acrylics as much because @arthong has always done such a great job with Tek Innovations, however, we have been cutting fun stuff out of sheets where we have bits of scrap on the edges. We did a run of cocktail plexiās
And look what was left over:
**Second: **Weāve got a few of these now 
and I am building the jig that will allow for very easy production on demand. Look for these in the next week with options for:
JLF, JLF with shaft covers, LS-32, IL/Happ, The Link and more
Since we do these in house we will be able to make center holes up to link size and outer diameters up to 2" on demand.
Pricing will range from $.75 for clears to 2.75 for mirrored pieces. Having our own laser in house allows for flexibility on design and pricing!
Look for custom etching to follow!
Third: We will also be offering Nephrings! These are a great addition from our friends at BYOAC, and will be in full production next week. Combine these with your Kaimana or just light them up and have some unique lighting solutions for your joystick:
Keep your eyes open for another 10-20 acrylic products we hope to roll out in the next 2-3 weeks. At this time it is our feeling that the joystick plexi cover market is fairly saturated, however we do have templates available and may make these available on request. In the mean time, @arthong has some great Plexi solutions
Moving onā¦
Fourth: We have hollow shafts arriving for the LS-40 and LS-58!
Fifth: Actuators are in the mailā¦ finally! What does that mean? a complete restock of the most popular actuator mod going with the new adjustable actuator!
.5mm oversize, and 1mm oversize will be available again in anodized aluminum
In addition the new adjustable actuators will be launched to a small market sample for final critiques!
I know it seems crazy, but yes thereās more!!!
Sixth: LS-32 oversized actuators are on the wayā¦
We have another dozen products that weāll get to over the next week. All arriving in one colossal dump!
Butā¦ What does it mean if:
Our actuator manufacturer is sending us stock,
Our shaft manufacturer is sending us stock,
Universal plates are in,
And springs are in stockā¦ what could we be making the first full run of in the next 1-2 weeks Stay tuned!
haha, thank you
@SusanInParadiseā has been holding down the fort while I travel the country. But Iām back and itās time to kick this into high gear!
Keep in mind Slag Coin is required reading here at Tech Talk (even if it is a bit Dated now)
http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/attributes_brands.html
The following link has a section of what joystick parts are compatible with what other joystick. If a particular part isnāt mentioned than it isnāt compatible .
Canāt wait for those adjustable actuators! Honestly you guys keep churning out more and more awesome stuff that my wallets already bleeding even though i havenāt bought anything yet (and I will). Random question tho, how exact will the adjustable actuator be? Will it be in pre-set increments or something else?
Take my money! I need it all. Iām also glad to hear that you will be able to get theseā¦

Both height and diameter will be adjustable with 2-3 sizes which should give you the equivalence of about 9 different actuators
@kev_the_bevā
I apologize for answering here but I generally try not to post in other peopleās store thread, and the question you are asking is a general construction question that seems to be presenting a bit of problem for solving.
There are a few ways to do what you are asking. As @Visions__ suggested you should be able to just connect wires back from your buttons to the Cthulu
'
from right to left in the box is Up/Down/Left/Right then next to that is ground
You can disconnect the existing wires from these spots (these are the ones that go to the joystick for those directions, and then use
http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/1588-large_default/110-wire-rainbow-pack-wire-with-double-ended-qcd-s.jpg
to connect the corresponding button to the the terminals on the Cthulu.
Alternatively, and maybe easier, you can just unplug your joystick which should leave you an end that looks like this:
http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/166-large_default/sanwa-jlf-wiring-harness.jpg
If you do this you shouldnāt even really have to mess with any wiring in your stick other than just connections.
If you then pick on of these up:
http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/822-large_default/jlf-187-micro-harness.jpg
Then you can either replace the .187 Quick disconnects with .110ās or you can just give them a little squeeze so they hold the .110 tabs on the buttons well.
But if you connect this harness, after you swap your top out and place your hit box buttons just use the black wire on one tab on the bottom of each button, and to the other tab connect Green to left, Orange to Down, Yellow to Right, and Red to up.
Let us know if this helps. I am all for support sites, but this forum is a resource for questions like this and they historically this is where people have turned to get answers, so we try to support that!
awesome stuff Bryan! I really like the etched mirrored plexi stuffā¦ very cool
Canāt wait to try the Levered D2RV-Gās!!!
Made the Jig
To make the product, we thought our friends at Galloping ghost would like this, thanks for the help @"Jasen Hicks"ā
Give us until the weekend to get some stuff listed! Best of all, with in house capabilities we can generate parts to order and ship with you regular parts!
Hello,
I placed an order on the 16th, payment was accepted shortly after, but it seems to have not progressed any further since then. I sent an email a few days ago and havenāt seen a response back yet. Order # is 009175. Could you give me an idea of when to expect it to be shipped? Thanks in advance.
@Lance3rd I donāt know what happened but I have Susan getting on that right away. I really appreciate your patience and weāll figure it out.
Just wanted to share something fun we did. PBJ on the BYOAC forums told me heād forgive me transgressions if I did something for him. Well I did it, but not for him What do you guys think?

@armi0024ā @SusanInParadiseā
Sorry to post here, trying to get a hold of someone regarding my order from last week (BPOVTTEZR). Tried message here and on the site. Its been saying status of Payment Accepted and hasnāt changed.
Originally the hope was to replace my stick which has been having issues in time for CEO monthly this weekend. I know now thats not gonna happen so just trying to get an ETA.
Cheers
