Title: how much work to convert Omnistick to japanese ball top?
Post by: Akuma on October 10, 2007, 03:48:47 pm

Hey everyone. I would like to convert my Omni sticks (http://www.arcadeshop.de/Joysticks-2/4/8-way-Joystick-black_422.html) into a japanese ball top type. You might ask why not buy a sanwa joystick? Cause I like the throw and general handling of the omni stick more. I'd like to know if anyone has already done something similar and how much work it is - so maybe someone has something to say? : )

Cheers.

Cool! Where did you get the custom shaft from and what does STC stand for?
