Yep, no carriage bolts. I like CP’s with only controls visible on the surface. It’s cleaner looking.

Yeah, Wico’s. . $40 ea seems to be the best I can find for the new repro ones. Arcadeshop has ‘em with the coloured balltops I need for X-men.

This cab came with wico microswitch versions, but all black battops. If I could find just the ball top shafts I need, I could save a bit of money.

Not sure if you already have the bases for the leafs, but here are some leaf sticks:

I’ve bought from the guy before and it was legit. He has lots of colors and has more than 2 to sell.

If you were looking for microswitch versions then :dunno:

opt2not:
I only got the microswitch version bases. If I can’t get compatible balltop shafts of the colours I need, I’ll bite the bullet and pickup the leafs.

pbj:
Do not put leafs on a 90s fight and go right cabinet.

:bat

You were also nuts to route out the joystick placement before your art showed up.

:bat

I totally agree to your first point. But desperate times call for desperate measures.
Paradise arcade has threaded Wico shafts that I can throw any ball top on, I just gotta confirm with them that they’re compatible with the microswitch Wico bases.

As for your second point, I’m pretty sure joystick positions didn’t change for all the Konami 4P cabs, just the buttons.
