Took a 4 year break and trying to get back into it. I need to finish this thing

<< < (2/3) > >>

Man, that nice CP and the cab being almost finished is most of the work already?  the rest is downhill!

Well until I read your post i had no idea there were joysticks that could swap between 8-way and 4-way at a simple twist!  :dunno

So I've just ordered me Mag-stick Plus from Ultimarc (4-way/8-way twistable from the top :woot). Damn aussie/US exchange rate was a killer though.... :'(

So thanks!

If that doesn't work - consider a redo using MDF or plywood. The redo sounds like a big pain, but you already have the everything cut so there would be no measuring. It would be easy to trace with a router. I'd bet you could have it back up in a few hours.

I'd laminate the particle board myself. Some nice, black laminate would do the trick.

You think you have it bad, the NZD has gone from 80c US when I was ordering heaps of things off eBay to now sitting at 51 - so thats 46 when the credit card procesor takes their 3%.

Totally put a stop on all my geek purchases, and I am directing effort to the house which is probably a good thing.

PC gear here is about to go up massively because all the importers only get hedging for a few months. Sadly my cab is well and truly not going anywhere at the moment.

At least MDF is unaffected since its made locally

not to sound mean, but that CPO looks like someone threw up chili and clip art.
