| Marsupial:
When I dealt with Paradise Arcade Shop, I had a product issue: some of the micro-switch I received where DOA (not 100% functional: at a higher than expected rate) So I contacted them. Bryan was on a business trip when this happen, so I ended up having both representative (him while in travel and his wife from Hawaii) email me at the same time about resolving the issue; they ended up sending me replacement switch in no time and the issue was quickly resolved. I apparently had hit a bad bunch of switch, all my others (I have quite a few) were flawless and have been since, with toddlers hitting very hard on them. All to say that communication was excellent regardless of the situation and that they stand behind their product. This time it was microswitch, but other times it could be a pricey item. I am very confident that no matter what I would end up with excellent post-sale service. I have dealt with other dealers too, Ultimard and GGG were all great. And had no issues with anyone - which is a good thing, but to compare oranges with oranges, I'd need to have dealt with defects on all ends. I have since spotted a local reseller, and the products that they do carry I buy directly from them nowaday. Its the same product from the same source for similar price in the end, but I like the amusement coin-up related discussions I get everytime I walk in their store... :) Again, you can't beat that pink joystick, its awesome, and its pink. For my daughter it was excellent. |

--- Quote from: armi0024 on January 05, 2011, 02:43:41 pm ---Ponyboy has pink buttons(solid, translucent, or pearl), and we have pink joysticks. We can do pink solid or bubble tops on JLF's, JLW's, LS-32, LS-32-01's, and Zippyy's long or short. And all of those can be lit up, for led top sticks except the JLWs. We can also do pink bulbs in white buttons. However, we do not have the pink t-molding we thought was going to arrive. Sorry you didn't get all the info you needed, I thought we had answered everything on KLOV, but sometimes the messaging system is not the best for organizing messages and evidently I missed something, the best way to get me is to hit me up at sales@paradisearcadeshop.com or bryan@paradisearcadeshop.com If you are looking for "tough" sticks, but don't need lit, my recommendation would be JLW's with pink tops. --- End quote --- Actually. you got back to my last pm at KLOV. I sent three or four questions and you responded, "I can't honestly remember if we resolved this...". And that was all. So I assumed that you didn't want to be bothered. Nevertheless, a couple of those question I had concerned the LED joystick and RGB LEDs, but I've now decided that lit joyticks and buttons are too complicated for what I need. Starburst, which Marsupial recommended, had no reference to pink buttons on their site. As for Ponyboy, I couldn't find a web site for him. I sent him a question via pm here about the Rollie switches a week ago, but I didn't received a reply. So I'm still looking for pink butttons. I did finally get a couple of 4" long pink joysticks from an eBay seller and will have to get around to machining them down on my lathe so that they would fit the original Ms. Pac-man joystick assemblies I have. But for my other project cabinet, even though the JAMMAboards.com joysticks weren't leaf switch joysticks they had the needed small "below control panel" profile, so I picked up a couple. Unfortunately, they didn't work because the sticks are too short: http://www.jammaboards.com/store/classic-arcade-joystick-8-way-to-4-way-switchable-/prod_282.html As for your pink joystick: http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/20-pink-top.html. Since it has the longest stick of your 4-ways I asked you what the profile(thickness) was of the assembly that goes below the control panel, and I also asked about the hole spacing for the bolts. (And even though you are still out of stock, it would also be interesting to know if your Rollie switches have gold plated contacts). Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. |

Darren, sometimes pms on the forums are difficult to keep track of, my intent was to proactively check in with you to see the status by writing you, not to say go away. For some reason I thought I had responded and just wanted to shoot you a message in case I hadn't so you didn't think I was ignoring you. A message back saying, "No I was waiting for your reponse" would have resulted in the questions being answered. I would be more than happy to help you out with this, please shoot me an email at bryan@paradisearcadeshop.com and I'll get it all taken care of. Also depending on which sticks you bought off ebay(and we have short pink sticks there) we may have shafts so you don't need to machine them down. I don't have the measurements here on the joystick, but I will post them here and on the site on Sunday. I thought we had an info sheet for that but it's not on the website. Of course Rollie leaf switches have gold contacts. I am not sure why one go through the trouble of building leaf switches without a high quality contact surface. Believe me, we are as anxious to get these in as anyone! As far as credibility goes, we have: over 2 dozen positive trader ratings on KLOV over 350 positive ratings on ebay(we were 100% until someone told us to send him a free Babystar or he'd neg us on buttons, we said no, he negged us, Ebay said since it was on gmail and not ebay messaging they wouldn't do anything) If you don't want to send hundreds of dollars of hard earned money, try us out with a smaller order. We are happy to work to win your trust and business. |

--- Quote from: armi0024 on January 15, 2011, 03:58:05 am ---Darren the note was simply because I couldn't see what the reply was that was sent. I was actually trying to shoot you a note and ask if we had resolved it so that you didn't think I was dropping it, the intention was to say, "Hey I'm here, are we still going to do this", not "Go away". Let me know what joysticks you got on Ebay, we may have short handles. We also sell short handled joysticks on ebay and the site, both with pink ball tops. --- End quote --- The joysticks I need are: 1) Pink 4-way ball-top joystick for a Ms. Pac-man control panel. (Leaf switches). 2) Pink 4-way ball-top joystick for a Ms. Pac-man control panel. (Micro switches). 3) Any color ball-top for a wood control panel. This must have a small profile under the cp. 4) Blue 2/4/8-way ball-top joysticks for wood control panels. (Low noise micro switches). Number 1 is difficult. Number 2 you have. Number 3 I was asking you about. Number 4 is new on my list. --- Quote --- I will text Ponyboy and ask about the pm. I am not sure why he wouldn't have answered that. For conversations where you need to work through figure out what you need, email really is a much easier tool for us. The problem with the forums is that we can't always see what was sent and so when conversations are drawn out over time, I only get to see half of the conversation sometimes. I don't know what has been said. It is also just much easier to manage communications through email that pm's. Bottom line is that I apologize for the confusion, my intent was to help with the project, although that doesn't seem how it was perceived. --- End quote --- They were actually stand alone questions that didn't need to reference previous questions and answers. (I never delete what any previous responses when I send back any way and still have everything we discussed in my private messages at KLOV). But I'll use e-mail from now on. BTW. I picked up two blue and two pink 4" joysticks like from eBay. (See image). Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. |

I will respond in email. Unfortunately, the mailbox at KLOV has a 1000 message limit :( up until I started this business I kept all my messages.... As I said I was trying to make sure we had answered your questions. 1) The sticks you got were wico, I don't know anyone who carries those stock anymore 2) LS-32 or the short zippy will work great here 3) Let's figure this out on email, let me know the thickness you need 4) JLW's would work great for 4/8, or you can get Zippy's and swap out the micros.
