DYNAGOD:

if you guys can provide an actual handle, or provide accurate dimension data I can give you a quote on manufactung  exact replica's of the original knob.
(precision machined ,not cheaply injection molded)

DYNAGOD:

nice :D, and does cover some of the more basic dimensions.
but the bulk of what i need is not included there.  :-\
Depths,radii, angles,etc,etc..

considering the demand for these sticks, and my love as well for games like ikari, nam,time,etc i think im gonna order one up and take my time in the inspection department here at work and put together the dimensions necessary for cloning this item.

i cant imagine machining these from scratch costing more than a few bucks.(no base or hardware, just an identical handle) and of course machining them from scratch affords us the selection of materials and colors.
some nice mirror finished 304/316 stainless ones sound good to me  ;D
or maybe clear acrylic with a superbrite LED mounted inside :P
possibiites are limitless.

mr.Curmudgeon:

Man, this community is AWESOME!

If it doesn't exist, someone comes along and builds it. Keep us posted on your progress. I was just going to purchase ls30 sticks this week, would your handles replace any specific brand/model? (I don't want to buy the wrong ones)

DYNAGOD:

well i just got a handle on a LS-30 and im gonna order it up after lunch...
i got a big gaping hole in my control panel next to my P360 for karate champ/robotron style games.i had planned on getting a second P360, but this way i get to kill 3 birds with 1 stone..

figure ill get the stick sometime next week..
/ dimension it / create a solidmodel / create prints / get it quoted for production in runs of 10, 50 and 100/

id say 2 weeks total till we have something to work with. ;D

in the meantime ,i see some hardware pressed into that handle in the images on the other thread..
any chance someone can search out that brass threaded fitting and see if they can find a source?
any distinguishing manufacturers markings?
