A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
kingchimp:
Apologies to everyone else for making a non-progress related bump of someone else's thread, but I happened upon this post on the srk forum just now and thought the Dr. might like to see it. :)

Wow. Thanks for that bump! That's my kind of fight stick.
I'm guessing you'd have to have access to some decent milling gear to get brass button heads like that.
But the abalone inlays certainly look slick.
And those brass sticks.
For those that might not want to follow the thread, here's a pic of the stick the guy built.
Again, definitely not mine, but I wish I had the equipment to do this kind of work.

Sweet Stick. Are they just brass covers for normal arcade buttons?

From the thread, it sounds like it was a class project for a metal working class of some sort.
He mentions he was on a budget and just hacked a "madcatz" stick for the electronics. I'm guessing the buttons are all custom.
I suspect a full brass button like that would have a LOT of inertia to overcome when playing, regardless of the spring.
Still, it looks fantastic! For Admin buttons at the least, I could totally see that.
Encryptor:
If that is the case I'd love to get a look at the underside to see what the rest of the button look like.
