Nintendo Ball Tops

February 24, 2021, 01:07:59 pm by Scotty

Did Nintendo use the standard 6mm screw thread for their 25 and 28mm ball tops? In other words, can I screw a 25 or 28mm on the top of a Sanwa style stick? If not, is there an adapter?

U-Track Hookup Help Please

February 23, 2021, 03:07:23 pm by Richardgregory

I believe I might have a defective U-Track or the USB board that came with it, and I'd like to determine which is defective by hooking up the U-Track directly to the Ipac2, but I don't know which wires goes to where. Can anyone help with this please?

Right now, the Trackball is only moving in the X Axis, and so there's no response from Y Axis in windows.

Thanks

Ms. Pac Man/Galaga reunion stick - Ball/shaft swap

February 23, 2021, 11:07:41 am by Dexter

Hi all,

I have a Ms. Pac Man/Galaga reunion stick on my panel whose balltop could use a swap out. I've been unable to remove the ball from the metal shaft to do so. If necessary I'll swap the metal shaft as I already have a replacement balltop (fits Seimitsu/Sanwa) but am a bit concerned that the replacement shaft won't fit.

Would something like this do the trick? I'm having trouble getting specs on the original vs Seimitsu shafts.

TIA

Hello. I have a 2007 build goldentee live that has been upgraded to 2020 software. I recently purchased this at auction. I cannot get the spin button to work.
I have replaced the microswitch and that did not fix it. Im not really sure what to do next. Any ideas?

vent cover material (mesh type stuff)

February 22, 2021, 06:37:57 pm by vertexguy

I'm curious what everyone has been using for those that covered their cab vents with some kind of mesh. I have been looking at stuff like this:

https://www.parts-express.com/Formed-Metal-Grill-Pair-with-8mm-Round-Holes-12-x-18-x-1-262-880?gclid=CjwKCAiAyc2BBhAaEiwA44-wWw34HJaW1ZOhrmcCDnLnWsQkNa85TCogAPkOUlINuiWad7u__MdA3BoCp5QQAvD_BwE

But it's kinda pricey IMO for very little material, and I have a lot of vents. I don't need this necessarily, but I kinda think it will add another level of nice detail to them. About to head off to HD to look at stuff there, like window screen mesh.

Any recommendations?
