Any Shaft requests?
« on: October 05, 2012, 10:59:52 pm »
We are about to have another large batch of shafts run and I wanted to check and see if there is any consensus on something people would be looking for...

Here is what we have currently:
IL/HAPP x 2 varieties RGB, one version of 6mm threaded hollow shaft
Seimitsu/Zippyy 6mm threaded hollow shaft
Seimitsu/Zippyy long 6mm threaded hollow shaft
JLF 6mm threaded hollow shaft
JLF long 6mm threaded hollow shaft
JLF regular length RGB Shaft

Here is what we will be adding:
JLF long RGB
Seimitsu/Zippyy Long RGB
Seimitsu/Zippyy RGB
JLW RGB
JLW 6mm top for LED

We also may be doing a few more Magstik Plus Shafts
We don't have plans to do a long JLW, but that is a possibility.

Any other suggestions?

I had not intent of such a dirty title  :angel:

360's are tough to make led sticks because of the magnet placement, so please do not count on these shafts for that.  The base design is that of JLW though.

Two JLW shafts (or whatever is used in the ServoStiks.)


If you put the link up on your Paradise website, I'll pre-order mine today. 

Is there an ETA?

Do you have any hollow shafts I can put a bat top on?

Crazy request I know, but I want to diy rig a top-fire-button on a bat handle.

An extended JLF one with an adapter that would accept a 1/4" shaft for rotary mods.  ;D

I would really like to see repro tapper shafts. I want to add a couple to my MAME cab, but I don't want to rob a nice Tapper CP to get them.

Now that is in interesting idea, the thought of doing Tapper handles doesn't really sound as tempting as a small run of 3/8"-16 UNC threaded tops so you can add any tap you want to the top of your machine....

I tried it with a full size Bud tap. It isn't as cool as it sounds. The small originals are a lot easier to play with. :)

First off.... I think the JLW is the ideal Ms Pac replacement stick, I don't know why more people have not come to that realization
Second, you are the second person to ask for stubby JLW's, I will get a few dozen done for kicks, and just for better kicks...I'll do the threading so you can put the Wico replacement ball tops on them

I ended up cutting the ones for my cocktail table down at the machine shop at work...  PITA though!  ended up taking off about 3/4" to get it to fit good under the glass. 


Hey, just the other day when I was emptying out my backpack to take it to Disneyland I found a couple of nintendo buttons I made on my 3d printer...  do you still want them?  Email me your mailing address if you do.

Could you do some replacement shafts for the Suzo 500 joysticks? They have a great feel and are 4/8/way switchable. However, the stock handles are very ugly.

About 3/4" shorter...

I will need to double check with Wolfeel, we were going to release a hollow wico stick, I was also thinking about a replacement ms pac so you could put a pink or lit pink ball on there :)

4" Wico shafts that take the assorted current asian balltops would probably be popular since the stock of NOS red 4" sticks has dried up.

I do really need those long hollow shaft that would fit with servo stick or j-stick......

I am starting to believe that hollow shaft are now getting popular and no wonder why Ultimarc or GGG or other arcade store is not selling........except Paradise arcade but Paradise's joystick shaft is confusing me because I don't know which shaft suit which joystick so I contact Paradise Arcade for enquiring and guess what, they never reply back.  :badmood:

I apologize, not sure what happened, I went back through every email with the word "hollow shaft" in it since August 20th and there were not unanswered emails about the shafts, but here's the scoop.

We have 15 different hollow shafts.  They are designed for the standard sticks carried in our store and offer a variety of RGB and single LED options.

I can not validate the shafts will work with other vendors custom sticks.  We are still in the process of creating our own 2/4/8 way switching sticks.  We will have a full light up selection for these sticks when they are finished.  If someone wants to measure the shafts on a custom sticks and send us the dims we can tell you if our shafts will fit.

PM me your email and I can do a search specifically for your email.

We have or will have the following (6mm threading is japanese standard, 10mm is for our custom ball tops and RGB ball tops, longs are all 3/4 inch longer than standard):

JLF 6mm threading
JLF Long 6mm threading
JLF 10mm
JLF Long 10mm
Seimitsu (also work for Zippyy) 6mm
Seimitsu Long (also work for Zippyy) 6mm
Seimitsu (also work for Zippyy) 10mm
Seimitsu Long(also work for Zippyy) 10mm
JLW 6mm
JLW 10mm
JLW 10mm shorty
Mag Stik 10mm
IL/Happ Skinny shaft 6mm
IL/Happ Skinny shaft 10mm
IL/Happ Standard shaft 10mm

We are also getting ready to release our custom LED joysticks with RGB tops prebuilt.
