If I am able to get a plastic shell of the Sanwa flash pcb, will that help you out Toodles?
Appreciated, but I did have a flash for a long time. I got all of the measurements I need off of it, but thank you.
Alright.
At the moment, do you need to find a manufacturer that is able to create those plastic shells for you?
- How much would you pay for a kit you had to solder yourself?
around $45 - How much for a ready-to-use already soldered piece?
$55 - How much for a kit if it did not have the DC-DC converter?
$40 - How much for a ready-to-use piece without the DC-DC converter?
$65 - How many of each would you expect to buy?

2, 1 almost immediately, another later for my 2nd stick.

If these ever go production… I’d like to see them called Toodles’ “reFlash”. It’s a REplacement flash pcb, it would be a spiritual REturn of the flash, it’s a… Well you get the idea… I’d like to also apologize for being corny… Lol
First, Good luck on your current project, Toodles. I was just wondering if you would be interested in making a replacement PCB for the issue plagued Happ P360? I am sure, depending on how much it costs, they would go pretty fast to those of us that bought them way back and found out about how bad they responded. I can’t be 100% sure for everyone but, I never got rid of the 2 Happ P360’s that I got as I couldn’t see just tossing $45 dollars in the trash for each stick. Also, for those of us that still have our old Wico sticks, it would be nice to know that when/if the PCB decides to take a kicker, I have an easily aquired, perfectly working replacement available. I would probably buy 2 extra on top of the two replacements for the Happ P360’s just for piece of mind with my now 10+ year old Wico sticks.
I’d just like to say that if this project comes to fruition, it will be a stupendous opportunity for us noobies who got here too late to get a FLASH-1. Best of luck to you Toodles! I just wish I wasn’t a broke-ass college student.
I may be wrong, but wasn’t the issues with the Happ Perfect 360s not with the optics, but with the actual build of the joystick, i.e. the pivot, actuator, restrictor, etc.? I haven’t heard of these being plagued with optical issues. As far as I’m concerned, the optics were fine. The problems with the actuator and base were what caused some of the problems like non-registering diagonals.
Well for some of the models that was the issue, the other leading issue was misaligned Diodes and LED’s. In my case, for both of my HAPP P360’s, I believe it was misaligned Diodes/LED’s because I tried all of the suggested fixes (replacing parts in the stick/actuator mod, ect), all to no avail.
I’m keeping this thread updated so that the community can be more aware on this.
Good luck Toodles. If this happens you can mark me down for 2 to start
Flash Bump!
i’d be willing to donate to get that mold made.
id give a mold donation also
Appreciated, but we’re not there yet.
Phoenix Down Revival Bump.
I’m not dead! I’m feeling happy!
Curaga! For Low Health. Sigh. No time to play FFXIII. Still haven’t opened up Heavy Rain either. Both in shrink wrap.
