Making a U360 into a top fire!

FWIW, I happen to know the "old timer" Randy is referring to is 1up.  Rob (1up) developed the concept and actually fabricated the prototypes for SS.

Thanks, I was wondering.

I have kicked around most of these ideas before, and a few others. The most feasible is the jack idea and with the magnet mounted on the end of the jack. The distance of the magnet from the PCB is not critical at all, the firmware compensates for it.
I remember thinking the jack was a neat idea when I first saw a SS illuminated handle. Never realised it was not their invention...

Make it happen, I'd like to be able to make my u360's glow.

  The first  technical thing that might be a problem here is the shaft size. If it is 10mm in diameter then it is a possibility. Why 10mm?. That is the size that a Happs Super shaft is that passes through the joy bushings. When you mod a super the 3.5mm female audio jack screws into the bottom of the shaft and then pass through the bushings to be assembled. This problem crept up when I modded my Sanwa JLF's (shaft diameter was only 7mm).  I hope that the U360 doesn't suffer from 'small shaft syndrome'. Can anybody out there give me an idea what the diameter actually is?

 The other thing that I'd like to know is how the magnet attaches to the stick base. Is it removable?
