Hey, Finkle. I have also sent you an email just now asking if you will add me to your queue. Let me know when you get the chance, I’ll be waiting. Thanks again! ~Kevin
Yea, what they said.
is he just busy or does he usually randomly respond? ive tried to PM him a few times myself with no answer…
no updates is no good
he’s probably taken his max amount of requests at the moment. just keep sending every once in a awhile.
Sent you a email earlier. Lol, take your time though. Getting insanely popular!

sent an e-mail from on3.40.se7en AT gmail dot com
hope you get back to me.
I’m alive!
I just got back from holidays a few days ago and its back to work again (blah) but it’s good to be back I suppose too so i’m not complainin’ too much.
alright down to business, I must have received close to a couple hundred emails within the past couple of weeks in regards to making sticks, I thank you for the emails and I will try my absolute best to read and reply to them. I’m sure there are some hate mail and death threats in there somewhere too so I will be sure to read those extra closely when the time comes!
I want to wish everyone a belated seasons greetings and happy new years, I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays, I know I did. perhaps a little too much with over drinking and eating as I’m still feeling the effects.
lets see, where to start, oh yes! I got some sticks done over the past couple of days when I say done some are 100% done and some are 90% done as in they need pcbs, covers or other misc parts. some of the orders I took just before xmas naturally more work will be needed of those as I didnt get much work done over the holidays.
as it stands right now, I need to finish some orders before I take more as I told myself I wont get disorganized this year making sticks and end up having a nervous breakdown with too much on my plate at once. I should have some spots ready in a couple of week’s time, rest assured unless sanwa, seimitsu or IL-Happ all go outta business I will continue to make sticks so if you want one or two I will do it up.
I finally got a 360, my cheap ass finally got one. I dont know how much Live I will have time for but I’m sure eventually I will have some spare time. I dont have a stick yet (surprise, surprise) so eventually I will have to make one as the only thing those gamepads are good for is taking apart and making sticks with.
the following sticks are close to completion:

metallic finish, sanwa buttons, wooden sides in the typical wedge shape.

empty case, Metallic purple, protective film on the plastic
note: there is dust on these sticks cough holidays* but they will be polished and cleaned up before they are shipped out.
other notes:
Will your wired 360 pcb is in the mail
Matt N your stick is in the mail, watch for it. sorry I couldnt take pics as I was more focused on getting it out the door but rest assured its what you asked for!
everyone else who ordered something, hang tight. everything is under control!
oh yes, in case anyone is interested I will refurb sticks I have made for a price depending on the condition it is in now (hopefully not destroyed) and what is needed or wanted to be done.
so basically if someone has something like this:

and they want it bring it up to something like this:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/suite53sticks/refurbs/376.jpg
it can be done, in some cases it might be cheaper than buying a new one if you’re strapped for cash. naturally i would prefer if someone bought another 
I will try to add more pics as I re-build old ones but in that case it can be found here:
I will have a ps3 stick for sale within a week’s time, it’s almost done but needs some more work. it wont be the typical wedge shape, it’s very different, very low profile, slightly smaller but very nice. cthulu board included for PC/PS3 playability. price? not sure yet, but i reckon around 200usd plus shipping sounds about right. I should have about three of these to sell within the next month or so. parts? more than likely sanwa JLF joystick, either sanwa or seimitsu buttons.
gotta run but I will try to look over my email in the next couple of days!
thanks again guys and gals

God Damn It Finkle, I need to get a stick from you ASAP.
Glad to see your still alive.
Indeed.
Unfortunately I didn’t see my stick in any of the pics, hopefully mine ready soon.
Thanks Noel! I’ll keep an eye out for the stick. Can’t wait!
Hotness.
Man. Those sticks are too cheap for the custom work.
Whenever you are ready Finkle let me know. $200 + shipping should be more than fair for the high quality work we’re seeing here.
I hope it’s worth your time.
Wow, the sticks are looking great. Awesome job, Finkle!
Can’t wait to get mine…seriously. I am overcome by joy. :lovin:
Can you make one with the hrap2 layout? I’m so used to it that I don’t want to try anything else. Wanting a 360 stick.
Hope you enjoyed your holidays Noel. Just don’t overload yourself with orders. Keep a limit and make some time for yourself. Best way to keep from burnout.
TTFN
Michael
Yes, hope you had a good one! I’m loving the stick you made me, Noel! Best thing I’ve used in my life!
