The Sanwa and Seimitsu FAQ

Man I wish we had that smiley that’s like slappin himself on the forehead. I completely didn’t factor in the whole plexi/lexan/art thing. Makes sense now. =)

Both my jlf’s are used and have a bit of “play” before the spring rate ensues. It’s like, how you have a little bit of play in the stick of a manual transmision. I noticed that the “white thing” at the base of the shaft, looking down on the stick, would move ever so slightly, indicating the source of the play. Is there a way to tighten this up?

Dreams can come true :slight_smile:

Either one is ground, it doesn’t matter.

i accidently spilled some soda into my seimitsu ps 14 k buttons. now some are sticky. how do you clean them?

Take it apart and clean it (remove the button and take out the microswitch and clean).

Thanks :clap:

I’m working on a stick but won’t get my parts till next month, someone loaned me a router for the week end and i would like to do the routing for the JLF-TP-8YT mounting plate. My problem is there is no schematic of it in the sanwa catalog, but there is one for the JLW, is it the same size? And if not does someone have a schematic for the JLF one?

I would try to answer your questions, but they look like they are in Swedish…so, I can’t help.

  1. Why would I want a Seimitsu LS-33 ors LS-40? I’m unable to tell what is so different when looking at the pictures. Is the base bigger? Is it shaft length , diameter or color?

  2. Is it possible to get a black shaft cover for a LS 32-01?

LOL :smiley: Swedish (well, kinda, haha)

  1. LS-33 has a very small base (almost same size mountingplate as the Sanwa JLF), smaller than LS-40. LS-40 is about the same size as the LS-32.
  1. LS-32(-01) has to big off a shaft so the shaftcovers don`t fit it.

Per: Correct me if I’m wrong, but all of the Sei sticks play the exact same right. The only difference between them would be the mounting plate and for the Ls-32-01, the PCB, right.

No, they definitely do not all play the same. Some have drastically different feeling including, but not limited to spring tension and throw. Obviously, many of the changes in the construction, like shaft length and smaller base contribute to these differences.

Has anyone of you tried a LS-56 ? I like the LS-32 , but I kinda want a longer shaft - and according to kowals chart it’s engange is even shorter than the LS-32 which would be perfect for my playstyle.
But looking at the smaller and much lighter base one could think that it feels less solid overall than the LS-32?

I thought someone posted something about modding a Sanwa shaft cover by pushing a 9mm drill through it. It apparently made it big enough to fit Seimitsu shafts.

No, that was Per talking about LS-40 shafts and you can drill them to fit JLFs.

Oh. I was kinda close? =D
