These look amazing. Let me know if you are going to get some replacement panels for the V3 Sa. i would love a 6 button astro and maybe even a mk for my stick.
Man you guys are simply the best! :china:
Just drop me a line when ready
ETA on those are maybe a month or two away depending on how well these panels do.
Hey I have a friend who might be willing to let you borrow his V3 for a while, i will keep you posted
Sorry if this is a noob question, but why would you have to bend the button connectors? If they aren’t bent with the stock TE panel, why now?
I have never even opened up my TE, but I read this forum to learn before I start modding.
also, any idea how much shipping to the UK would be for a panel and artwork?
button bending is for layouts that dont fit well with the plastic beneath the metal panel inside the TE. Most likely the bottom ones for the MK layout and so on and so forth.
Yes please! I could finally mount a JLF in there properly.
Also, are there separate spacers for mounting a JLF with and without lexan? for those of use who are really picky 
Aah, thanks, makes total sense.
Oh wow thank you very much PM sent
No need to apologize for asking a question, but the reason you need to bend the tabs are because the TE has a black middle piece that only has the vewlix layout in it. so if you bend the tabs there is no touching.
For shipping to the UK I am not too sure. That is something I will find out soon. I did a couple of padhacks for people in the UK before but i dont really remember how much the shipping was. I want to say it was 30 but i am really hoping it is cheaper.
Correct Sir
Believe it or not this is something that I have been working on more info about spacers and such to come soon
Oh thanks guy. Hey you should try to get these front paged I bet if more people knew you could get more out faster.
Oh thanks guy. Hey you should try to get these front paged I bet if more people knew you could get more out faster.
That would be great but i have no idea how to get anything front paged, someone told me they emailed keits trying to get it front paged but they did not get a response. so who knows
Oh how could I forget.
Nominated.
More people need to know about this
I would nominate this as well however i just joined and dont know how. lol
Thanks alot guys i appreciate that alot.
Just added the tutorial link on adding a db15 to your TE for easy swap of control panels(cant believe i did not do that sooner, the second part will be coming soon.
At this moment in time all TE panels are perfectly drawn and i am just awaiting the hrap panel so i can draw those and get some test pieces done with this current order. DIY panels are also almost ready for sale just a little more messing around with them and they will be good. All is looking well :party:
nominated :tup:
also i have another friend that wants a large DIY, i am not sure if he wants the lexan or not tho
Are there any examples of what laser printed artwork looks like?
Ok guys here is a Large DIY which is mine Ibuki all the way, the lexan and art have been cut to size but i still need to get the holes in them, but because i have been working like a madman and it is mine. i wont be getting that done untill i finish answering emails and finish drawing CAD files, etc
Here they are overlapping so you can get another view of them because it is hard to see them all because the Lexan is so reflective and so nice hahaha.
holes in steel are cut, just not art and lexan yet.(yes that is a start button on the control panel =D)
Ok guys so for some things coming up,
all te files are about ready to get cut, I am just working on some of your custom TE panels, i will be collecting deposits for any customs in the next day or so.
*Special note to anyone else who may want a special customized TE panel (ex: no turbo panel, buttons further away, etc), let me know asap so i can put it on the order or it will have to wait untill next order. They require a $10 deposit but they are not any extra, they are still $25.
I will be posting the photoshop template for the files soon as well so everyone who has inquired about ordering can start their artwork.
I also just recieved an hrap 2sa plate so i will work on those drawings and get those ready. Thank you theBadGuy for that
I also have a little surprise for you guys as well. Voltech and myself may be doing a collab in the future where all of his future sticks will be compatible with my steel panels. This will enable you to have different layouts on his customs and even customized layouts, nothing is concrete yet, it is just something we discussed so look out for that guys.
Thanks and keep the emails coming!!!
Hey guys,
Just wanted to pop in to confirm that I am in the process of updating my cases.
What should I call it? The Voltech Arcade Stick Tournament Edition “VAS-T.E.” ? Nah I haven’t come up with a name yet but the point is that it will be compatible with the metal Panels that “blklightning21” AKA the Game Surgeon will be making.
So what that means to is if you have a T.E. stick and what to get a new button layout that better suits your playing style, you can do that, it also means that if you want to keep the Metal panel, Art and Plexi that you already have in your T.E. and transfer it all to one of my cases, you can do that. You can even get any of the custom button layouts the blklightning21 is making and also put that in one of my cases. See how cleaver that is 
I do plan to keep the same over all design that I currently have but modify it with a new Steel Frame instead of MDF or PCV along with a few other goodies that I’m am still working on. Trust me I got things nobody else is doing in the works right now so you don’t wanna miss it.
definitely Interested in the Sega Astro Layout Panel for the TE. Have Money in Hand, just waiting to order!
Will be placing order tuesday morning guys, so any and all people wanting customized panels, get in my inbox or email me @ LLC@TheGameSurgeons.com
This pertains to added space between buttons, no turbo panel, or something like a hitbox with 30mm attack buttons, I have alot of custom orders now and will be collecting deposits on monday. Otherwise you can just pick up a panel when the arrive.
also as i was finishing the photoshop template my comp shut off on me and so now i get to do it all over again from scratch. Dont worry as i will have it up tomorrow for all of you who have been patiently waiting. So thank you for your patience.
Also guys finished drawing up the hrap panel so i will get some test pieces and those will hopefully be available soon as well.
Also a question for you guys
Would you rather have your panels shipped in a box or one of those yellow large envelopes. I was originally going to ship in a box but seeing as the hori panel got to me undamaged in one of the envelopes. I figured that would be a great way for you guys to save on shipping. So please just let me know what you guys would be more comfy with.
Thanks
