WTS: Custom Sanwa Arcade Stick(s)

I’ll answer this here since i’m here,

I can make a mounting plate to replace the old stick, the buttons are going to be another story all together. Japanese buttons are 30mm and the happ buttons are 1-1/8" which is smaller than 30mm so there would have to be some physical modification done to both the plastic sheet on the top and the metal box itself.

can it be done? of course it can with the proper tools, without the tools might not get the best results possible. as always if you have any other questions about this let me know :slight_smile:

when might mine be shipped out?

asap, ran outta cardboard boxes and bubble wrap but i hope to have it outta here before the week is out.

coolness

awesome, thanks for the update.

is that the case with mine? i’m dying to get mine =/

Hate to bother, but I’m dying to know where my stick is in this process as well.

no bother at all :slight_smile:

waiting on parts, otherwise things are going according to plan

sunoco: finishing touches, then it’s being shipped out

He Finkle is my stick anywhere near finished yet? I know u had to do it over cuz of the button layout.

are you still taking new orders?

yeah it is actually, my end is done, sadly I ran out of parts at the wrong time. it’s kinda funny, you buy a whole box of joysticks, you look in amazement of the sheer amount and 2 weeks later they’re all gone. the same can be same about buttons! trays and trays of buttons, start assembling sticks and they’re done too.

Smazzurco: taking orders still but not for very much longer. december will be here soon and thats a total chaos month normally and I have learned my lesson over the years of doing this lol.

Hey finkle, I was wondering if you could reply to my e-mail about an extra set of buttons. No rush or anything since I know you get flooded with e-mails and such.

well id like to get in on order. Im fairly new to here, so best thing is prolly to just email me at smazzurco@dwsinc.net

We can discuss components/artwork. I know i want a “bat” top and convex buttons, but not sure exactly which.

Thanks

O, and if you need money for the parts in advance or whatever im fine with that :slight_smile:

:sad: so close yet so far away.

Finkle - it’s been a couple months, whats up? My name wasn’t on the above list.

Thanks,

Luke

:clap:
Stick arrived today, no more dropping combos haha… pictures didn’t do it justice, it is so beautiful, you rock finkle!

I hate to bug you… I feel really self-conscious about it at this point, but I’d be interested in an updated ETA as well, if it’s not too much trouble. Any chance I’ll get this before Christmas? If it’s out of your hands, I understand. =)

Hey Finkle!

I was wondering if I could order one more stick before you stop taking orders. I have something in mind along the lines of wood grains, with a Sanwa stick, seimitsu top and buttons. just let me know if it’s an option. Thanks!

Any updates yet finkle? Did you get the parts you needed last week? :sweat:

I received my stick today! it looks amazing. Only problem is, my PS -> USB converter isn’t recognizing it…yet my ps2 pad plays fine with it.

I’ll check with my PS2 soon, I hope nothing happened to the PCB :frowning:
