8-way microswitch balltops
« on: October 05, 2005, 01:01:55 pm »
Who sells 'em?

There's some ebay auctions that have em as part of a lot.  Two red ball tops and 20 hot pink buttons. 

I don't know what I'd do with 20 pink buttons.  I'd go for it if I had a use for 20 pink buttons.  I guess I could convert the panel on my street fighter into something really effeminate, maybe hack the roms so it's a bunch of girls pulling each others hair and pinching each other, and call it "---smurfette--- slap".  That would be an awesome game.

But, I digress.  Anyone know where to buy just two regular old microswitched 8-ways with red ball tops?

Ultimarc has ball tops for the Tsicks

TornadoTerry (I think) sells ball top shafts on ebay for Supers.

You can get ball top handles from GGG or Slikstik to use on a number of Happ joysticks.
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

Ball-top J-Stiks also - these are my sticks of choice.

Thanks, that's what I'm looking for.  Don't really need 8/4 way but it's no biggie.

About those J-Sticks, are the mounting holes on the plate in the same position as a regular stick (happs super, et al)?  I like the look and description of 'em, but the PC10 panel I want 'em for has already been hacked up enough.  It's a metal panel, depth wont be an issue.

Besides, the T-Sticks are 16 bucks plus another 12 for the ball top shaft... I'd be better off on eBay buying 20 pink buttons just to get the sticks.

Please make the ROM available for download. ;)
