I'll grab two meshballs.

Also, I haven't gotten any payment instructions from Kowal- what are USA buyers doing?

kowal · « **Reply #81 on:** September 28, 2006, 04:48:13 am »

Please send money to Ponyboy (say him that this for me - kowal). When Ponyboy confirm payment I will send items. Yesterday I send 4 (four) to RobotoNut.
In akihabara I will order 5 october 2006, I wait for my salary only.
list:
4x Sanwa LB-35-MP (Meshball)
2x Seimitsu LB-39 clear bubbleball WHITE (Clear)

Level42 · « **Reply #82 on:** September 28, 2006, 08:54:44 am »

OK thanks Kowal ! As soon as you know the total (including the balls) I will transfer the money.

kowal · « **Reply #83 on:** September 28, 2006, 03:23:14 pm »

First package has come to me. I will sum up cost then.

Grasshopper · « **Reply #84 on:** September 30, 2006, 10:51:47 am »

Kowal, here is my provisional order for the Balltops (15 balls and 6 shafts):

4* Sanwa LB-35, Dark Blue
2* Sanwa LB-35, Red
3* Seimitsu LB-39 Bubble Ball, Orange
3* Seimitsu LB-39 Bubble Ball, Blue
3* Seimitsu LB-39 Bubble Ball, White
3* Sanwa JLF-PP1 dustcovers (2 per set)

Can you give me an approximate idea of the total cost? If it is too much then I may have to prune the order a bit.

Thanks

Grasshopper

(p.s. please can you also confirm you have received the money for the shafts)

Hey guys, i'm building my first desktop control and came across this topic. I'm pretty excited about it and have been educating myself this last week. I know it's gonna turn into a rediculous hobby

I'm searching for a red ball for an Omni basic and fell in love with that meshball

Are these shafts still available and will it fit the Omni stick basic? I really hope i can join the club

Hey Kowal i think i left you an email, what a coincidence. I was browsing your great Polish site

you can get a versa-ball shaft from groovygamegear.com, which fits the omni-stik basic. these versa-balls are threaded; i'm not sure if they're the same threads as the meshball.

They're not.

Kowal, can you confirm that the Sanwa JLF-PP1 dustcovers can be used with your shafts?

Thanks

yes it fit.

if you want larger washer (how J-stick), you have to buy JLWPP1 but they do not fit they have wide openings. It it was it been possible was to buy JLW - PP 1 and additionally JLF CD.

Grasshopper · « **Reply #93 on:** October 19, 2006, 02:57:19 pm »

My handles have arrived.

Thanks Kowal.

First impressions are very good. I'll do some tests over the weekend and maybe post some pics.

Level42 · « **Reply #94 on:** October 19, 2006, 03:52:55 pm »

Ok I'm completely in the dark about this. Kowal did the balltops arrive from Japan ?

If so please update me about total costs etc. Thanks.

RobotronNut · « **Reply #95 on:** October 19, 2006, 05:10:06 pm »

my handles arrived a while back. they look good, but it may be a while before i can give them a good test. i'll post results as soon as i have any.

i finally got a test panel put together and tried my suzo inductives with kowal's custom balltop shafts.

the construction quality of the shafts is superb!

i played robotron a few hours and have concluded that, in their stock form, the suzo inductives are not well-suited to robotron. the problem is the little "bumps" that separate the 8 positions. after i'm past the early levels in robotron, i need to be able to make round, sweeping movements very quickly. i keep getting killed because i got "stuck" at one of the little bumps and couldn't get the joystick into the position i needed it to be in. my scores with my p360s are much higher than with the suzos.

Quote from: davieboynj on July 26, 2006, 01:32:19 pm

IF you want complete smooth motion (no notches) out of your inductive, do the following:

Remove the plastic cover in the bottom.
Remove the circuit board.
Pop off the ~~C-clamp~~ Omega clamp from the stick, and take out the shaft.
Wrap a small piece of gritty sandpaper around your finger (grit facing outside ) and twist away where the shaft was until the bumps are no more.
Put it back together.
Voila! Enjoy your new quiet, silky smooth inductive controller.

i'll give this a try.

and another small tip: if the joystick engages more quickly in one direction than the other, you can play with some of the other pots on the board and easily fix it. I had one controller that kinda bothered me for a while and after i fooled with it, it's perfect.

one of my 3 inductives has one direction activated even when the stick is in its neutral, centered position. i'll try playing with the pots. do you know what the various pots control? i'd rather not mess up the trim of all the pots by randomly trying stuff...

Unfortunately, i came down with the same problem recently. I've had to make enough adjustments on these things that it might be worth it to really put together a comprehensive guide to the potentiometers... I'll try to do it soon, but today is definitely out.

and i wouldn't really worry about screwing anything up. as long as you have something running where you can test the new limits, you'll find it works better after you've messed with all of them. it just gets kinda confusing sometimes.

Level42 · « **Reply #99 on:** December 27, 2006, 06:02:14 pm »

Man it's been long, but what is the situation Kowal ? Have the ball tops arrived from Japan already ??

kowal · « **Reply #100 on:** December 28, 2006, 07:19:14 am »

akihabara is inoperative 2-3 month all be annulled. It writes about problems [urlhttp://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=108982]here[/url] (last 5 sides). I do not know when this will become open again they do not accept orders
http://www.akihabarashop.com/status.html

I thought order from RS2006. But only large orders accept there >100000 jpn near smaller orders is punishment +75$

I do not know what to do. I can sell only handles, or from red balltop, or to wait until akihabara will come back.

Hi, I'd like to know if it's still possible to purchase one of these custom made stainless sticks? I already have both Seimitsu and Sanwa balls, so I'm really only interested in one of these beautiful metal sticks.

Also I'm new here, and I say hello to you kind sirs.

I foolishly didn't buy a pair of these back four years ago. Does anyone want to sell theirs? Anyone else up to fabricating these again? Franco B?

sorry my eyes are bugging out... i had to read it three times to grasp what he was getting at. i think i have it now though. still i'm unsure about the joystick overall. seems a little overcomplicated for what it does.
