So I never did complete what I posted here back in Feb of 2018.
As a refresher, this is what the last casing I did looked like for the longest time:
Casing was coated in Plasti-Dip, which made it really weirdly textured (and peeling).
Panel, as mentioned above, was a weird repro with a non-standard layout (Astro P1 on both sides, and spacing was different between stuff too).
Finally completed this stick.
- stripped the Plasti-Dip from the MDF casing and painted it gloss white MDF
- Jasenscustoms repro 2L12B Sega control panel
- codecrank repro Blast City overlay
- kept the Hori Hayabusa levers, shaft covers, dust covers
- Sanwa balltops and OBSF-30 (both green and pink)
- 2x Sanwa OBSF-24 (yellow) for the start buttons
- 4x Seimitsu PS-14-DN for the top buttons
- 2x Switchcraft RJ-45 pass-through
- 2x MC Cthulhu

Inside sans PCB (the MC Cthulhus are wired with 20-pin headers):
PCB unit is modular and mounted on an ABS panel that just slides out for convenient swapping:
I don’t expect to swap PCBs often; my NOU-2001 Sega Sticks has the dual Hori FC4 PCBs in there, so that one is my “Modern stick”, which this one with the MC Cthulhus is my “Retro stick”. I do have one set of PCB units to swap in that’s a WIP, just because I have the PCBs sitting around.
