Title: Jpac standoffs
Post by: keilmillerjr on November 03, 2015, 08:57:46 am: Can anyone help me find a size or source for pcb standoffs for my jpac? I can't find my caliper right now, so I'm not sure of the pcb hole size. Mounting surface is 3/16 inch. Standoff can me hard mounted or adhesive backed. I ordered some adhesive ones and they were too large.

If so, I have many left and you are welcome to have what you need for your project... (I'll even send metal motherboard standoffs and screws just in case. I have tons.)

Post by: keilmillerjr on November 03, 2015, 09:50:25 pm: Spent time looking for a solution, yet the solution was right in front of me. Took a small round file and widened the hole slightly to fit my 0.119" to 0.125" self adhesive pcb stand offs. Problem solved. :)

Excuse my mess on the table.

Glad you found a solution!

They are expensive, relative to other items. However, for a total of $4 I now have an easy solution that is nice and neat. This mame setup is going in my neo geo mvs. I want everything easily removable to preserve it. BTW- This mame setup will only run neo geo games. :)
