Sanwa buttons and xarcade joysticks with minipac?
« on: October 07, 2010, 07:07:32 am »
Hi,
I have been using a relatively cheap setup on my cab, xarcade joysticks and some yenoh buttons connected to a minipac (with the harness)
I decided to revmap the cab, colour change etc.
Bought some IL buttons, rubbish, sticking etc.
So, I ended up chancing some sanwas.
I didnt realise that the connectors on the buttons needed smaller crimps so here is my problem.
I have 2 joysticks that take the larger more standard crimps and buttons that take the smaller crimps.
What is the best way to get both conencted preferably without snipping the existing harness.
Hope this makes sense.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sham.

Pinch them shut with pliers so that they go on tightly.   That's what I did with sanwa  buttons and it worked very well
