Any Shaft requests?

[GernBlanston]

We have or will have the following...

I'm very new to this and fairly dense anyway but I'm not finding the following on the Paradise site for HOLLOW sticks:

• JLW 6mm
• JLW 10mm
• JLW 10mm shorty

Are any of these 3 JLW sticks available right now with hollow shafts? If not, I know that they are coming but do you have an ETA yet? Weeks/months/years? I'm looking for hollow shafts for my ServoStiks.

Apologies if this is obvious to everyone else in the world or if the answer was stated above already and I'm just not getting it—wouldn't be the first time.

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

I remember Wolfeel saying over at KLOV that he eventually wanted to do hallowed version of his repro-sticks, and with the newly released version of JROK's multi-williams board, I'm sure these would be a hot commodity. I'm not sure if Wolf's given up that plan or not.

If this ends up happening, count me in for a set.

[Unstupid]

No, but we plan on more 10mm threaded solid ball tops

Oh man.....  I just bought a bunch of 6mm balltops... can I swap some for the 10mm's when I pick up the shortie JLW shafts?

[armi0024]

Unstupid, of course

We supplied wolfeels ball tops, we were/are supposed to take over production of the whole shaft at some point, I will drop him a line.

Ditto, I've been checking obsessively, my messages, email, here and the PA site for 2 days and nothing.  Do you have a link? 

[armi0024]

Easy now, holiday season is setting in, emails may take a few days....

Right now they are no plans to do hollow shaft specifically for the Servo Stik.  If our JLW's fit, that would be great, but we plan on releasing our own switching stick when we finish reworking it based on initial feedback.

We received a batch of sticks from our machine shop, and they are producing batch 2 right now (should be done Monday or Tuesday)
Here is the break down
JLF 6mm threading  (restock in 2-3 weeks)
JLF Long 6mm threading  (in stock)
JLF 10mm (in stock)
JLF Long 10mm (currently be machined, should be here in 1-2 weeks)
Seimitsu (also work for Zippyy) 6mm  (restock in 2-3 weeks)
Seimitsu Long (also work for Zippyy) 6mm (in stock)
Seimitsu (also work for Zippyy) 10mm (currently be machined, should be here in 1-2 weeks)
Seimitsu Long(also work for Zippyy) 10mm (currently be machined, should be here in 1-2 weeks)
JLW 6mm (currently be machined, should be here in 1-2 weeks)
JLW 10mm (in stock, will be posted this weekend)
JLW 10mm shorty (in stock, will be posted this weekend)
Mag Stik 10mm (in stock, will be posted this weekend)
IL/Happ Skinny shaft 6mm (in stock)
IL/Happ Skinny shaft 10mm (in stock)
IL/Happ Standard shaft 10mm (in stock)

Well done.  Thanks for keeping us posted here.  I'll be keeping an eye on the site for the new products shafts and can't wait to see the auto-switching sticks.

Did I miss something?  I've been checking the site, checking here, it has been two weeks and nothing.

Can you post a link to the purchase page?

JLW 10mm, for RGB JLW's


Shorty 10mm's for JLW's


Magstik Plus 10mm Shafts

[GernBlanston]

Just ordered a hollow JLW. Going to try it on a ServoStik and will report back here as to whether it fits or not. Suspecting that it won't fit but willing to roll the bones and give 'er a shot.

[MacGyver]

Yay!  I ordered mine, I almost forgot to order the 10mm balltops to go with them.  I will use those until the 6mm version comes out, then I'll buy those so I can use my translucent red and blue balltops again (both 6mm).
 

Thanks again for getting those made, I was getting a complex about never being able to finish my cabinet.  Thanks to you, the end is in sight.   

Seriously, I looked everywhere, and you have the only ones for sale on the planet, and I have looked everywhere.  It is such a specific part, that only such a small group will ever need, that I was worried they I would never find one. 

As far as working with the ServoStiks, I guess I will have to see, if not, something somewhere will get modified to work, the shaft was the part that required very special tools to make, and now that that part has been taken care of it shouldn't be a big deal.  (hell it may just fit perfect as is, we'll see)

Gah, thread was bumped, but not with hallowed WICO 4" shafts... 

I am disappoint.

[armi0024]

Opt2not, they are coming... I will check on production.

If someone is willing to ship me a servostick, I will do a hollow shaft for one....

Any news about hollow shafts for servo stik?

Everything got here complete and fast, but, like you thought, the ServoStiks are non-standard JLWs.

Here is a comparison from the side.
From the left: JLF (hollow), stock shaft from the ServoStik (not hollow), new JLW (hollow).


From the bottom down.
From the left: JLF (hollow), stock shaft from the ServoStik (not hollow), new JLW (hollow).


The length is correct with the replacements, the top half width is irrelevant, but the stock ones are too skinny at the bottom.
So I'm going to try to put it in a drill, and "lathe" it down to size with sand paper.  Wish me luck.

This is of course after I mixed every stick and shaft I had laying around to try to get it to work, but no.
I could try to drill out the pivot (little half-ball thing) but its solid metal, the black spring keeper wouldn't be a big deal as it is plastic.
I'm going to try the lathe method, as I bought some 10mm threaded shafts I can practice on.
