lol…I thought butteroj only made mixed color balltops…mb, those shaft covers look very lustrously fancy, maybe it’s just the photo angle…still awesome looking though.
Come on, where are the screw-in variants of the OBSC-30-Cs? I want Sanwa’s in my next tek-case, dammit!
Sanwa and Seimitsu do not function by Logic, but by unexpected acts of Chaos.
We might get to see them some day… maybe.
Would anyone happen to know how/where I could get clear(color tinted) balltops and metallic shaft covers?
you mean like the the Seimitsu bubble or complete clear like this

I do powder coated and also have the blue gold red and pink 7-11 covers
The balltops fit JLFs right?
I pmed you about all the other things.
of course all jp except some the jlw’s
What the deal with the sanwa OBSC-24mm snap in buttons, when can we expect to purchase these or preorder.
Arcade Shock has them available for order. I just got mine the other day and already replaced the start button in my VLX.

Oh? Are these out finally?
So how does one remove the clear cap? I want to be gentle but I can’t find a way to remove it without force 
i just used pliers and pulled from the middle (the part that goes over the microswitch).
Just pull up from the edge as you would remove a plastic lid from a container.
Got my clear ball top and shaft cover installed on my VLX last week. Looks great!

That’s the best explanation I’ve read for the operation of both companies! You get a “Star” and a big “Like” from me today! LOL
There were some rumors about clear Sanwa buttons being “squirky” and noisy. Can any of you guys (de-)confirm that?
Not sure about “squirky”, but they do have a slight tendency to squeak at times. It’s barely noticeable if you’re focused on the game; you can easily tune it out.
Having worked with some of these recently I can confirm that there is a design problem with the plastic Sanwa chose to use.
I fixed this by using a very thin layer of lubricant on the plunger shell.
It’s not a major problem, but still a fail for Sanwa’s R&D department.
“Squeak” was the word. Thanks.
