just baught me one of these off ebay.

does anyone know if they're moddable?? well im gonna try anyway lol

ill keep up to date...just gotta get it first lol

[Pempoii]

well, i got it today :D:D:D

its made out of metal, and uses MCA (an australian company) parts with cherry microswitches. it is indeed modable, but its all soldered. the manurfactures got a lil bit lazy and just got a "stick" of solder and soldered it to 2 microswitches a couple of time :S :S

its in near mint condition, only one little blemish on the screw near the edge on the left side, it even came with the original warranty card lol. but this aint an ebay feedback forum so...


i'm really very tempted to do a sanwa mod, but i kinda wanna keep it as it is, if ya know wot i mean lol, perhaps if i ever find another ill do that as well as hooking it up to a keywiz or ipac


over all i am extreamly happy

ill upload pix soon :)

Looks interesting. The parts used look similar to Happ parts. Can you take and post some more pics?

[Pempoii]

The joysticks look wierd as fuck. How well does it perform?

[Taiki]

holy Euro sticks.

I really like the template on the thing, very Candy-ish. I wonder if it's sanwa modable?

[Pempoii]

its really awe4som to use, the sticks are wot used to be liek the standard in australia, but now most arcades hav ball tops.

yupp u can put sanwa's in it, u just have to re-wire it coz its solderd :(

[NiteWalker]

Thanks for the pics. Man that thing has a wicked slant....

[Numbski]

You ought to be able to replace the buttons without harm, and if you use some de-soldering braid, you can easily unsolder those candy switches if you ever want to make it stock again.

The sticks are the big question mark. If you want to be able to return it to stock condition, you'd have to bottom-mount the stick in some fashion. I'm not sure I see in your pics whether or not you can do that cleanly. Buttons are certainly do-able though.

Interesting button layout, p1 looks standard if it was horizontally rotated. I love that they name a joystick "battlestation".
