We may do a run of Seimitsu long and short, as well as JLW shafts as well.

I need to line up the shafts for order. If Andy doesn't want to do the RGB's for the Mag Stick we will run more for sale also. If he does, they will at least be available though his site.

There are 4 shafts shown... from left to right:
1) Mag-Stik Plus Shafts - we only have 10 of these available
2) IL/Happ Shaft 1-we have 100 of these in stock (10mm shaft, feels great)
3) IL/Happ Shaft 2-we have 100 of these in stock(larger shaft to match original dustwasher)
4) Sanwa JLF Shafts

Wow, so #3 fits Happ Competition bases? And in the near future you will have bat tops available?! Glowing Competitions?! Look for a matched button/shaft/bat top/3" trackball order from me once everything comes in.

Button- Done
Shaft- shown here
Bat top, later this year early next
3" trackball - done just waiting to finish light engine

Brian74 · « **Reply #126 on:** May 16, 2012, 03:39:48 pm »

So my understanding is this is just a upgrade kit? You do not have any premade ones like the other led joysticks you have?

Armi, do you have a non-illuminating bat top that will fit the #3 joystick shaft (fits Happ Competition) currently (e.g. the jlf bat tops you have on sale)? Thanks!

armi0024 · « **Reply #128 on:** May 18, 2012, 02:03:26 am »

JLW bat tops will fit any of these shafts...

Hello. I wanted an illuminated ball-top for a long time and I was very happy to find this thread. However a Mag-stik-plus plus from the one store and the RGB kit from the other store, with both shipping costs, each come out to $50. Do I really want to drop $100 for a single joystick? Hard to say no and hard to say yes. I think someone asked earlier but are there any future plans that allow me to purchase everything in one go and save some cash? Thanks.

Trip · « **Reply #131 on:** June 11, 2012, 10:44:15 am »

Bryan, I am going to send you an email. I want to purchase some things you have for sale in a kit, without the rest of the kit if that is possible.

It's a moot point for the time being since the Mag-stik plus shafts are sold out for now.... However notice Bryan's post above:

Andy = Andy at Ultimarc = The guy that sells Mag-stik pluses. So basically Bryan is working with him to see if he wants to sell these direct from Ultimarc... If so, you should be able to get everything there (eventually), and if not, Bryan will apparently have more of the shafts for sale at his own store (eventually).

Brian74 · « **Reply #133 on:** June 13, 2012, 03:56:41 pm »

Im interested in a kit of some sort too!

Ravenger · « **Reply #134 on:** June 14, 2012, 05:41:08 pm »

Would it be possible to use those Mag-Stik hollow shafts to help add a fire button to the stick, via a modified balltop? I'd love to have a top fire button for Battlezone -it's my favourite arcade game. It's awkward using a control panel button for firing if you've got the game setup to use both joysticks, like the arcade.

armi0024 · « **Reply #135 on:** June 14, 2012, 05:51:01 pm »

Our regular hollow shafts can be used to add topfire buttons to JLF, Seimitsu, Happ, or Zippyy joysticks

Mysterioii · « **Reply #136 on:** June 29, 2012, 08:18:48 am »

I apologize if this is mentioned elsewhere, but does anyone know the right size threads one would tap to fit these shafts if you wanted to make a custom top?

armi0024 · « **Reply #137 on:** June 30, 2012, 01:05:31 am »

regular japanese threading is 6mm x 1mm, Our regular LED tops are the same, our RGB tops are 10mm x 1.5mm threading.

Brian74 · « **Reply #138 on:** June 30, 2012, 09:57:07 pm »

I have asked this before, but never got a answer. Is there a full kit ready to go that I can get?

armi0024 · « **Reply #139 on:** June 30, 2012, 10:40:33 pm »

A full kit including joystick?

Brian74 · « **Reply #140 on:** June 30, 2012, 11:08:24 pm »

Yeah, idk what stick to get. I think the ones I have now are happ comps, but Im not sure. Just looking for a good overall stick.

uteftCafnulty · « **Reply #141 on:** July 02, 2012, 10:22:02 pm »

I have a used zhp knob ill give it to you for 35 shipped the leather on it is a bit worn all you need to do is find a oem knob and pull out the illuminated directional gear tab with the wire and pass the wire thru the zhp knob then a little glue your all set..

mcseforsale · « **Reply #142 on:** July 03, 2012, 12:29:01 pm »

Yeah, that would be cool. Like Happ Comp with a kit, etc. Then, I can use my sticks in another cab.

I can look into doing IL joysticks.... very possible

jace055 · « **Reply #144 on:** July 03, 2012, 10:21:14 pm »

What is the Voltage of the RGB LED? I am going to hook them up to a 5v line until I get a controller and I don't want to release the magic blue smoke.

armi0024 · « **Reply #145 on:** August 02, 2012, 04:48:43 am »

Ok, we need to restock on a few joysticks....
Is there any interest in:
Magstick RGB shafts
JLW hollow shafts
JLW RGB shafts...

Or anything else.... speak now or forever want the stick you can't have

Brian74 · « **Reply #146 on:** August 02, 2012, 01:44:12 pm »

I need two mag stick plus

AlienInferno · « **Reply #147 on:** August 03, 2012, 06:02:22 pm »

I'd be interested in one of these two:

JLW hollow shafts
JLW RGB shafts

As long as it ends with me having a RGB lit balltop.

armi0024 · « **Reply #148 on:** August 03, 2012, 06:13:27 pm »

The JLW is one of my favorite sticks.... They are not very popular anymore, but I may have to cave and do those just so I can have them! I actually have all the drawings done and quotes on them, I just never pull the trigger.... very very tempting!

Nephasth · « **Reply #152 on:** August 06, 2012, 10:18:26 am »

Even though I have no immediate use for them, I'd probably pick up a couple hollow JLW shafts...

MacGyver · « **Reply #153 on:** August 07, 2012, 08:22:28 am »

You can put me down for 2 JLW hollow shafts, hell I'd love a package deal: the shafts, an RGB LEDs in each of them, with the spin-free thingys.

Seriously, though, I've bought things from you before, I trust you, put the pre-order up already.

Just let me know the ETA when you take my money.

jomccutcheon · « **Reply #154 on:** August 09, 2012, 05:57:21 pm »

Need 2 illuminated RGB Battop joysticks.
Any idea on when these will be available?
Would buy as a kit or as a complete set tops and sticks/ shafts.
thanks

Armi,

Are these LEDs rated for 5v or do they need resistors to limit current? I'd hate to smoke one.

armi0024 · « **Reply #156 on:** August 14, 2012, 04:31:58 am »

Current limiting, I'll check on the 5 volt resistance Tuesday or Wednesday...

MacGyver · « **Reply #157 on:** August 14, 2012, 08:50:28 am »

Is there an ETA on a "Short JLW RGB Shaft Kit w/ Slip Ring"?

I'm about 2 weeks away from needing to decide if I'm going to cut my panel for my current JLFs or if I should cut it for JLWs, I'll only cut JLWs if I can have the same lighting options I have with my JLFs, which means my desire to buy a certain new model of JLW pretty much depends on whether or not you intend to stock hollow JLW shafts again.

If you tell me that you are going to be stocking them, I'll trust you, and buy the JLWs, and live without the lighting until you have them available, but if you say you are not going to bother with it, I can forget about the JLWs. (my whole panel is about lighting and not having lighted joysticks is a deal breaker). I can wait for you to stock them if I know it's a sure thing, but since you're the only source, the buck stops with you. Only you know if they will ever be available again.

Haha I know exactly which "certain new model" you're referring to...

But I think it serves best to be direct here. Andy's product is going to spark an interest in JLW's so I think Bryan will enjoy a related spike in interest in JLW hollow shafts... There's likely several people on this board interested in both auto-switching 4-to-8-way sticks and lighting 'em up. I think Andy's product is good for Bryan, and should encourage him to have some JLW shafts made.

Now, I'm sitting on two mag-stik pluses still in the boxes and hollow shafts to match, and now I have to decide if I want to stick with those or switch to Andy's sticks.... I have so little free time though I doubt I'll even get to my CP rebuild until next year...

armi0024 · « **Reply #159 on:** August 14, 2012, 01:44:22 pm »

JLW's hollow shafts will become available in the next 1-2 months
2/4/8 way autoswitching joystick in the next 6, We have a nice prototype but we are focusing efforts on 4 other products before we release this.
