Sorry I was out of town this weekend.

Happ only had 23 of the stabilizer arms in stock.  As a result, once I have the sleeves back from the plastics company, I will only be able to ship 23 initially.

The pricing estimates are:

$25 shipped for 1, or $45 for 2.

If possible, after you are settled with all the details, plz post the price, and also the dimension of the whole stick (if comes with a few pics, it will be perfect).

price is a concern, but not my main concern.  My concern is if my CP box is deep enough for it.

Thanks.

one more piece that would make this set perfect would be the 13 pin connector.  Someone post links to a company that sells them....on another thread...just the other day.

but i cant find it now.

oh, sorry. I had been working with the same parts on my project and  figured it would make it easier for some and plus you could see if Ponyboy can work some of his Happ pricing magic.

I would love to include the 13-pin connector in my kit, but every time I tried to find them online I couldn't.

Could someone please post the link to the connectors(not the happ one) and I'll see about adding them to my kits.

The Happ part number for the non-optical rotary is actually 96-1000-00 and it's $17 just for the wiring harness.  In my opinion, it was just too much to include in the kit when you could just solder them.

From s4tay

The actual JST connectors and pins are:

Cable Connector: H13P-SHF-AA
Connector Pins: SHF-001T-0.8BS
PCB Connector RT Angle: BS13-SHF-1AA

I ordered a few and they are the exact connectors/pins that comes with the LS-30.

100 of the 13 wire connectors are on their way.  I'll gladly include them in the kits.

I plan to include 2 of the 13 pin connectors in the kit.

One fits perfectly on druin's, the other fits with 1 slot hanging over on the Midway 49-way joystick.   This way, you don't need to use the unsightly floppy cable hack.

btw, you might want to update your list of games to include Xybot.  Works great with druins board.

Also, you might want to mention that Ikari warriars (and a few others... can't check at the moment) do NOT currently work without it in any way known.... Analog+ mame version has a bug where it looses direction..

The issue revolves around trying to play Ikari without a Druin's.  Analog+ will allow you to play some of the rotary games by connecting the rotary switch on your rotary joystick directly to button inputs on your keyboard encoder.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work on a lot of rotary games, including Ikari.  To use a mechanical rotary stick with those games, a Druin's is the only way to go.

Floyd,

  I checked the site, looks great.  I love how you have the installation instructions there with a bunch of photos.  I was a little confused by the thread about how the whole thing actually got put together and what the kit will include.  I'm very interested in purchasing, but I don't have a PayPal account.  Would you accept a money order?

Cheers,

KenToad

I will, but it will certainly increase delivery times.  However, I have no issues with that method as well.

Awesome work, Markrvp, my setup is on its way, but I probably won't get anything setup for at least a week.  I'm kind of busy right now and I can't get my gargantuan bartop put together until I get the woodworker to do a little routing for T-molding.  However, thanks for posting your pictures.  Now I can't wait to get my panel setup.

Those look great Mark, are you planning to replace the floppy cable on the 49-Way with the included extra 13-pin adapter? I wasn't too sure if people would use it or not? :D

Have you given Heavy Barrel a shot yet? That was the second game I fired up after Ikari Warriors.

Ahh, I was wondering Floyd and I thought I saw in the thread that you would be including an extra 13-pin adapter.  Does that mean that I don't have to buy floppy cable connectors for my 49-ways?  Allllllright, Heavy Barrel, yeah, second on my list as well.

Cheers,
KenToad
