bookmarks..

wouldnt you know it, i formatted my HD and forgot to save my obsure arcade link bookmarks.

Would anyone be kind enough to send me theirs? Takes alot of time and effort to track down all these goofy sites.

Thanks

Heya  - while rebuilding my list of arcade related bookmarks I stumbled on this company, heck I even ordered a couple leaf spring ball tops from them!

Cool, hadn't seen them before. Be sure to let us know  if you're happy with the results!

Well, I got my leaf spring 8 ways from Valcasales.com.

Have to say i'm pretty dissapointed. I sent 2 inquiries after the sale, one on another product (in stock?) and one after 5 days had passed to get a tracking number.

First question took a couple days, next question hasn't been answered yet (only been a couple days to be fair).

When you deal with someone like Andy at Ultimarc, you get spoiled.

Now the "4/8 way Wico style leaf spring Joystick"

First off the top and bottom bases sport a diamond shaped cutout for the shaft to slip through, so the advertised 8 way action isn't going to work very well as its obviously restricted along the diagnals. The ball top seems to be a softer, cheaper plastic as well. I would have to say DONT BUY.

Short of shipping them back at my cost and hoping for a refund I'm going to drill out the bases to unrestrict the movement and hope for the best. Wish me luck.

p.s.
Dangit Andy, for the love of god I want to give you more of my hard earned money. Expand your product line!!!
