| U360 Lighted Stick? |

Thanks Bender, but unless I am missing something after reading that (and other threads) it doesn't look like anyone has the shafts needed for U360's (ball top) ... and nobody has the shaft for U360's (BAT top) -- including the BAT top. Sorry to hear about that Cornchip. Today's economy is not fun for anyone (except of course the people with extreme wealth who are all fighting over how best to help us peons!). Good luck and keep the chin up on the job front. :) Maybe I will see about trying to do this myself, although I am not even sure where to start to get the machined parts for the thicker diameter BAT top center shaft needed to make this thing a go. I am surprised that this isn't more of a desired thing, especially for the BAT U360's. At this point I would even settle for BALL top shafts to at least light these U360's up if I could find some. |

I wonder if the lizard-man's replacement shaft (with drilled hollow center) would work? http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/pages/joysticks.shtml Sanwa JL-S9F Shaft $19.95/ea Anyone know about these for fit w/in U360? Will the magnet for the U360 stick to the metal or is the shaft non-metallic? David |

You can use those shafts but you will need to cut a slot into the e-clip groove to allow the wires to come though the gap in the e-clip when the magnet is in place. I made some polished brass shafts for somunny's Ark project. I milled a 2mm slot into the groove for the wires: As brass inst ferrous the magnet wouldn't stick to the shaft so I machined the shafts so that the magnets are a press fit. I'm not sure what material the lizard lick shafts are made from. The standard shafts are plated mild steel so that magnet does stick, If the lizardlick shafts are not made from a ferrous material (i.e. non ferrous stainless) then you would have the same issue. I'm intending to carry on with my four pole free spinning solution after Christmas once I have the girlfriends juke box out of the way. |
