Man those new Ball Tops and that anodized button plunger look awesome
You really know how to choose the Eye candy
@darksakul
Thanks!!! We found out about the anodized bat tops available elsewhere after we started this project. I donāt think they are going to do the same colors or the button caps. Our end goal is a line of anodized parts going well beyond what you see here
Itās really tempting to do a kickstarter to see if we could get that going. We have the place all lined up that will do the parts, but the minimum orders are BIG, and searching for quarters between the couch cushions isnāt quite covering it anymore
Wow! I placed an order Thursday afternoon, and itās out for delivery today! For being in Florida, thatās pretty quick, I must say. Thanks again for the awesome service and quick turnaroundā¦
Looks like Iāll be snacking on Macadamia Kisses this afternoon!
Yeah, I just got an order in today that shipped the same time as an order from California, and the one from Hawaii got here faster. Keep up the great work!
Armi I just sent you a pm my spring was missing out of my order. Iām hoping you will get back to me soon because I would like to know how this is going to be fixed and if possibly I can add a black aluminum dust cover since they were out of stock when I ordered⦠But super fast delivery to Maine bud thanks
Got my actuator in the mail today!! Thanks. Going to order from you guys again!!
Holy cow on those transparent meshballs!
nice new spin on the old ballsā¦
(Heh⦠Balls.)
I gotta say they all look nice unlike the original, SOLID meshballs.
I wonder how they would scatter an LED light?
- I didnāt see the new meshes until today⦠Iāve spent the last day-and-a-half rebuilding a PC after a major meltdown. I blame MS for producing one of the worst and most vulnerable pieces of OS software Iāve had the displeasure of working with!
The same kind of thing happens on the Mac, I can fix the issue with one OS disc in less than an hour!
I canāt do anything with the PC but rebuild the OS from scratch⦠and reload all the programs Iāve added since⦠and grind my teeth at the time it takes to get the machine back to where I want it!
Just got the GONBES CGA TO VGA HD ARCADE CONVERTER [GBS-8220] from you guys.
It works great in my SCART to HDTV setup.
I just wanted to mention that the anodized balltop, shaft cover, and washer are NOICE (got mine in purple)!!! Sadly, I didnāt get any Macadamia Kisses with my order (I guess my order was too small this time, haha!). Luckily, I saved a couple from my last order, so either way, I STILL ended up snacking on some Macadamia Kisses yesterday, ha!
Argh, my email is spamming shoryuken again, I hate gmail!
I was wondering why it was so quiet for the last 2 days⦠and it wasnāt!
No kisses!!! Iāll talk to Susan, sheās been shorting me lately too
Glad to hear the orders are going so quickly.
Call Susan on the at spring if you havenāt heard back yet. PMās are not a good com tool, emails are much much better. Phone is good, but remember we are in Hawaii, time is 6 hours behind EST. So 8 am EST is 2am HST.
3 very important thingsā¦
- We will be releasing a custom set of ball tops next week⦠no one else has these
2) Once our Facebook page hits 250 likes we are dropping the price of Cherry micros for a week⦠- I canāt remember what this was⦠you guys might just need to find me and ask whatās up at Evoā¦
Balltops and pads arrived just in time for the weekend. Mahalo!
- ~sighs~ my latest order came just shy of $81. I hope the new ball tops donāt tempt me in ordering again so soonā¦
- I recommend putting a link to your Facebook page somewhere towards the top of your website.
Thanks for the order! Which top of our website, we are going to have⦠oh wait, that revision isnāt up yet, I canāt wait to share the new website with everyone, itās really coming along great!
Do you guys have a price set for the transparent mesh balltops? Waiting for those to go up!
I have that Purple combo, and I have to say that it looks even BETTER in person!
Hmmmā¦
If I wore fireproof gloves, could I Dremel/sand-barrel one of those aluminum shaft covers to fit an LS-32?
{My planās not perfect but Iām thinking handskin protection this time!}
[But wait, thatās nuts⦠Just wait for armi to announce -32/-Seimitsu compatible parts if the demandās there!]
{But in the meantime, I might have to go ahead with my crazy planā¦}
[For our Precious, Yes!]
The aluminum shaft cover is about 1 mm shorter than a Seimitsu shaft cover. What is it about the LS-32 shaft that it canāt accept JLF shafts?
The LS-32 shaft is physically thicker than the JLF shaft but itās still a bit thinner than a JLF shaft WITH the shaft cover on. Cutting the shaft height down is easy but you can only fit a JLF shaft cover onto an LS-32 shaft AFTER thinning it out (from the inside out) by at least 50%.
Thinning out the plastic is what takes the longer time in the mod.
For plastic shafts, I use metal files to thin out the shaft. I use the Dremel cutting circle to wear down/melt to the right height requirement. Iāve never done this mod on metal shafts ā plastic only, and, in that case, only the official Sanwa JLF-CD shaft kit.
Qanba and Mad Catz CD-Shaft kits should work with the mod, too, assuming they follow the specs of Sanwaās JLF-CD kit⦠The Seimitsu shaft covers available for the LS-40/-56/-58 and the LS-33 kit wonāt fit the LS-32⦠The LS-32 shaft is just too thick and the plastic on those other LS-series shaft covers would probably crack if you thinned the plastic out with the same mod I use for the JLF shaft cover.
Iāve never damaged a JLF shaft thinning it out, and theyāve all held up well on the 4 LS-32ās I modded this way, BUT I have accidently cut more than I needed to (over 3/16"; donāt quote me on that⦠I havenāt measured the cut plastic height in over 3 years)! I always use a Silver Sharpie to mark the plastic I have to wear off/melt on the JLF shaft cover.
