Holy crap.... what is with printers in this hobby??? I've pretty much exhausted all the major folks that print between klov and here. Some would start with good correspondence and then never provide a price, others would give me the common excuses off the dart board and some just would ignore me. I just wanted 18 copies of my image laminated and cut like an arcade cpo. After losing a couple weeks being jacked off by others I contacted Brad (who has a thread here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,134866.0.html) and he actually followed through and felt like making a couple bucks to do something simple. :applaud: Received the cpo's from Brad and applied one to a box, came out great. Nice textured material. Too bad I slacked off during the great printer hunt and I forgot to order the needed metric step drill bit set. :( Analog joystick circuit pcb's put together. Joystick harness made up, keeping the same wire color scheme as the original controller. good day. |

Looks badass, Chopper. Can’t wait to see the final version. |

First one assembled, very happy with the results. Tooling for cutting circles in the overlay around joystick screws has been perfected and will look better moving forward. Found some nice rubber strain reliefs that look much better than trying to use those plastic crimp grommets stuffed in the hole. I have done extensive testing of various methods of achieving a coiled cable. While playing the prototype controller I didn't like having to find a place to put 6ft of cable when I only play it from a foot away. I thought it would be cool if it had a coiled cable like the originals do. No ordering options for such a thing, so I just kinda figured it out. Not a perfect tight consistent coil, but I think it's cool and is a nice touch. I'll probably just offer the ones for sale an option of straight or coiled cable. The Sanwa 24mm buttons are sweet, very light action compared to the yellow ones from the proto. I also tried ordering a couple of the "replaces sanwa" 99 cent ones from ebay and they were awful, had to pay up and get the real deal. good day. |

Wow this looks really good chopper! It's gotta be a hellava lot better to use than the stock controller. I have a hard time with the buttons, but having more arcade grade pushbuttons would make this console play a lot better. Too bad you couldn't get a small balltop on top of that joystick ;) Can't wait till you put these up for sale, consider me in for one! |
