Title: ultrastick 360 and round restrictor?
Post by: danivempire on March 04, 2011, 07:59:53 am

hello all

I got the ultrastick 360 for a almost 2 weeks

I just changed the spring, it was too light... The shop I bought my stuff gave me the spring for the JLW Stick saying that the Ultrasticks were just jlw modified.
I works great, but now I'm gonna put some restrictors, as said on reviews, it's range is way too big...

The store I purchase my stuff doesn't have the kit as the ultramarc site has, unfortunately, living in belgium I can't order from them because of the taxes and shipping...

could those ones work

as it is for jlw?

I heard that those kind of restrictor makes the analog kind of useless, but I don't use it anyway...

So any thought?

Gonna go out on a limb here and say no.
I might be wrong, but it looks like the pcb on the 360 is below the shaft. On the JLW, the restrictor is below the microswitches. The bottom of the shaft hits the restrictor.
The ultrastick restrictor on ultimarc.com restricts the shaft from the top of the mounting plate.

I actually think it is the exact same one.  Ultimarc just ships the Sanwa circular and 4/8 way plates, but they make the octagonal ones I believe.

The only problem is you'll need standoffs to mount the PCB on:

I live in the netherlands and order all my stuff directly from ultimarc (they are located in the UK).

Don't know what your problem with the taxes might be. Your free to order from them and get it delivred to Belgium.

If you place your order in dollars most of the time it's even cheaper.

Well, I just checked and you're right, easier to fit the ones from ultimarc, I orderd them...

The "problem" I had was that the final cost gets way higher, well...

That restrictor at arcadeshop is the same one. It's a common Sanwa-type model. Also, those tubular supports aren't needed. The distance they provide might be, though, which can be addressed by using some washers.
