dang, I want a sticker!

Dear god, I am a HUGE nerd! I noticed your math homework before I noticed the FLASH 1. :wasted:

In that image, were you working on your calculus homework? I really gotta know!

Actually studying for a midterm. It’s for a discrete event simulation course…the calc stuff is all for statistics.

brighenne, that’s some pretty legit stuff you’re studying! All of my friend who’ve taken stat have told me it’s the best course they’ve ever taken. Of course, discrete simulation is more than just a step up from that, but hopefully it was just as enjoyable! I hope you did well on that midterm! :rofl:

Anyways, I’m derailing the thread! Just curious, for any of you folks who own a Sanwa FLASH 1 sticker, what would you ideally stick it on if you absolutely had to stick it to something? (I know a lot of you wouldn’t stick it to anything though since you like it for collector’s purposes, but let’s go with the argument here! :smile:)

Well, I dont own a flash sticker , but I would stick it on my locker that houses all my arcade parts. Now , lets hope Per can find some more.

@brighenne while i’m not in the same boat, i do want a washer too! so cool hahaha, meus put a close up(thx meus) and i think i can afford 5 bucks from arthong.

@thread is that wrong? LOL

I’m also in the no-plastic ring club. It irritated me that it didn’t mount flat with it. I haven’t encountered any issues with it gone.

I too have a flash1 without the dustwasher. Although I did have my custom builder re-create me the sticker (based off of jdm’s paint posted in another thread)

It would be nice if someone made a dustwasher template for us in this boat, so we can reproduce it, courtesy of Arthong’s services.

I wouldn’t go straight reproduction though, I’d etch it on a clear dushwasher or something ~

This. I wish someone would post a high-res scan. I would do it myself if I had access to one.

I thought you were almost done with it.
You said you recreated based from my Paint?

A scan would be better though.
Since mine was not super perfect.

I know you guys have Sticker.
I know you guys have Dust Disc.
How come no one is scanning the stuff?

I actually did scan the sticker last night.

Well here is my revised Sticker.

My edit was just of the Shaft.

That is not full size by the way.
The real dimensions are 2016 x 672.

Thank you brighenne.
Now with scan for Sticker, I can stop my work.
Someone else can use the scan to make better reproduction.

Sorry Ketchy Ketch.
That you used my old Paint.

Mine looks pretty real.
Laugh.

ah my new wallpaper good stuff jdm also forgot to thank you after late hours on the harness to make connections clean.

What did you follow anyways?
That was what I curious of.

i followed everything it was all useful, to label the cables, to use a terminal block, everthing u linked me to was good stuffs. i had to take a minute or two with slagcoin to compare ls32 qd you linked me because i have ls-32-02 harness style now its just missing a fake sanwa flash dust cover HAHAHA :smiley:

i went back and checked, its not slagcoin i lost the page but mine is tpma :confused: should bookmark usefull stuff like that next time

hehe its no worries, man. He did improve it and redraw some stuff, thanks for the template!

just wanted to post some pics of my ASCII and what i did with it and what i found out.

well Meus was right and the solder points stand tall not allowing my gate to snap in all the way with the plastic washer.

I went ahead and filed it down… just for the hell of it and see if i can get the gate to fit with the plastic clear washer.

i was able to get em down pretty far BUT … my gate still didnt want to snap in place… but without the clear washer it fit like a dream. just the rubber washer in place.
