Title: FS: Capcom Vs SNK 2 Themed Custom Built Arcade Stick PS1 or PS2
Post by: NiteWalker on May 07, 2007, 10:07:50 am: Hey folks. I built this joystick to try out a few new things. Mainly the new control panel shape and the blue plastic laminate. I'll let the pics do most of the talking but here's some info on it:

-Happ Competition buttons and joystick
-3/4" baltic birch plywood construction for the body; this makes it very lightweight and durable
-The top is 5/8" MDF with 1/8" Lexan and 3/4" black t-molding around it
-There are 4 non slip rubber feet on the bottom
-The pad hack is a sony digital PS1 pad
-There is blue formica plastic laminate covering the main body.
-The bottom is 1/4" Masonite

Here's the link to the auction. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170109703110&rd=1&rd=1)

If a BYOAC'er gets it shipping is free. Likewise if buy it now is used I'll knock $15 off. Feel free to PM or post any questions.

Post by: NiteWalker on May 08, 2007, 03:11:01 am: Thanks. I built it mainly to try a few new things. Mainly the new control panel shape, the baltic birch construction and the blue plastic laminate.

I have a couple more like it I'll be finishing soon.

:cheers:

I like the neat wiring job too. Those wiring blocks are the only way to go.
Please link to the others you're working on.

Post by: NiteWalker on May 09, 2007, 12:38:32 pm: I didn't spend too much time on the artwork. I wasn't sure what to put so I just chose the three main characters I use. :dunno

I also wasn't sure at first if I was going to sell this one.
