Capcom Astro City Street Fighter 4 Control Panel Sanwa - eBay (item 300476237465 end time Oct-10-10 19:00:02 PDT)

This panel is WARPED, but might be a cheap fix for someone looking for an official Capcom Panel. Also, it’s in Canada (Looking at you Meus).

Thanks Ewa i can fix that slowing.

I’ve always wanted to pick one of those up and turn it into a fight stick, just don’t have the room to store it.
Or the skills to make the case(yet).

If you decide to mod, you might want to replace those carriage bolts with cap socket screws or another screw-type that allows you to take off the faceplate with a screw driver.

Opening up the bottom of joysticks to get at the electronics, buttons, and joystick is for masochists and people who want to do more than the necessary amount of work.

The only problem with replacing the carriage bolts is that you have to figure out what thread size the bolts were in the first place before you buy replacements… M4? M3? M2? They’re going to be metric for sure. Once you have that figured out, just glue the hex nuts below the holes to form a permanent mount/attachment for the new bolts/screws if you decide to do this mod.

Someone bought that exact one and returned it because it came warped.

i have pmed the guy to see if he would sell to me.

Could that be the one masturfader bought and returned?
Laugh.

probably. I dont know how it came warped. Mine came packaged all nicely.

the guy wants me to offer him 100 dollars for that bad ass wrap panel. Hell no.

I paid 100 for a brand new one, so it’s not a good price.

Just win the bid. I doubt it’ll go much higher than what he wants for it.

will try.

Yeah, don’t pay 100 for it, not worth it in that condition.

Don’t think I’ll need to be doing that. Unlike a HRAP2/3, you can access everything from the bottom of this one.

That, and I love me smooth carriage bolts.

I watch things like a hawk. I found a rather good deal.

Unfortunately this deal was too good to be true:

:wasted: Sigh…

Daaayyyymmmnnnn, I’d have to cut someone after that.

when its too good to be true… [media=youtube]55aHvFD-I80[/media]

A ega Saturn USB Clone. Box was in good condition, the controller’s surface looks smudged and scratched… luckily i dont mind all that much.

Finally Got one. 200$ Shipped.

Can not wait to work on this!

Jutman Customs case.

It was not a cheap buy but a lucky find living so close to Jutman22.
