Need a Modder/Builder in Your Area? Check This Post.

MonoTekETeA

So I was reading the Think Aloud, and people were talking about how to inform people of their services. Not to mention you always see threads of "I need a modder" posted here and there. I figured a really easy way would be a thread for people to look at a quick glance and to see what modders are in their state.

Not everyone likes the idea of shipping their stick across the country to have some guy tinker with it, so why not deal with some one you can shake hands with?

So, take a look at the list. If they are in your state, click on their name and it will take you to their post where they also list their modding knowledge.

I am in no way liable if a modder can not preform the service he/she offers. This is simply a list for people to find who is close to them saying they(the modder) can do the work.

If you would like to be added, respond with your State/Providence/Territory/etc. (Please, if outside of the US, include your country), County/Town, and your modding abilities. A link to your trading thread with feedback would also be beneficial. (If you have one.)

With this stated! If you are a modder with out feedback, start up a thread for your services. Then have SRK members post and give you feedback after doing work for them. This will help foster a community of trusted modders that people can turn to in any area if they need help.

(I do not include myself in this list, because I do not find the time to mod sticks for others. However, if your stick has been modded but isn't working, I am solid at troubleshooting. I reside in South Jersey, Camden County.)

Any feedback would be great, so let me have it.

PM for prices for your specific mod and for more information.

Beginning July 1st, I'm quitting dual mods that don't use a 360 Stick & one of Toodles' Kitty PCBs. That may be subject to change, but until then please no requests.

I only deal locally, face-to-face. I live in Dunlap, but can meet up in the Hixson area at the days/times listed below. I can have it done before the next meetup if you don't mind picking it up in Dunlap yourself.

Contact Information:
- Local Meet Only, sorry I'm not doing this for income this is mostly as a favor for local players.
- PMs through SRK
- In Person: http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/buffalo-bar-fights-chattanooga-tn-–-monday-weeklies.129681/
Check that thread for the specific days I'm hosting and will be present. I DON'T do mods there, I will do pickup/drop offs. I'm there to play fighting games with local players as well as have some food & drinks. We have 1-3 setups of mixed PS3/360 so you'll be able to test/verify my work before you leave.

ANY parts you want, you will need to order yourself OR pay for in advance (including applicable sales tax/shipping costs). I'm sorry, but I'm not getting stuck with a huge parts/shipping bill because you changed your mind.

great post!

pkrstdnt

I am a modder in fort worth. Done cthulhu, MC cthulhu and Chimps. Recently started Paewang mods as well

x24

There used to be some Google maps based thingy where users of a certain group can pretty much mark themselves in the map. Hopefully something like that can be put in place so looking for someone close is as easy as bringing up a map. Good idea for the thread though, I would rather go and meet the guy, watch it while it's being modded, and go home happy, rather than shipping and waiting.

sswizzbbeatss

Uh what about canada?

osiriskidd

i'm in atlanta, ga.
can do chimps, imps, cthulu, madcatz padhacks, art.

I haven't tried dual wireless mods though.

Lol, my bad! Totally dude. Anyone international, just let me know and I will put you on the list. Do the same as the states, but give me your providence/territory/etc. and town if you desire.

Twinkle

Great thread, very similar to the "If you want to buy a custom arcade stick...." thread on the Trading Outlet but purely for modification services perhaps?

MonoTekETeA

Exactly. The sticky at the top of Tech Talk has great links to stick builders, but not simply modders. I can use a soldering iron, but suck with woodwork...for now.

chowwun

Location: Toronto/Markham, Ontario, Canada
Past work: Madcatz SE/TE dual mods using Imps and Chimps for commission. Built my own stick and case using Cthulhu and Madcatz 4716. Tri-modded a TvC SE.

FreezerB

Good idea.

Current Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Past Work: Dual mods with the Mayflash, TE/SE, Toodles' boards, Mad Catz 360, T5 and PSX/2 (first and third party) PCBs. General repairs to controllers and arcade sticks.
Price: Depends on the job but the most common ones are $30 for wiring, $40 for dual mod and $10-20 for repairs.

MonoTekETeA

Updated again.

I will be on top of this thread pretty regularly, because I am with out a job. I start my new one on the 30th though, and wont have as much free time. It will get updated, but maybe every few days, instead of a few times a day. So, help me help you, and post in this thread sooner rather then later.

Also, I changed it up, instead of little quotes, I just linked them to your post in this thread. So if you want to clean up your post and include other information, go ahead.

I'll mod pretty much anything from a TE to a Custom to a FS3.

Prices
-For modding a stick with new parts, you pay for the parts and components necessary for the stick's functionality and appearance (which includes any new PCB(s), stick, buttons, balltops, mounting plates, nuts, bolts, screws, artwork, sticks cases, etc.), along with a $35-$70 service fee for the cost of tools and entire labor (drilling holes, wiring PCB and common grounds, etc.) that goes to me. Prices of labor may vary depending on length or difficulty of project, hence range from $35-$70. You also pay for shipping costs.
-For minor fixes or maintenance (swapping wire or quick disconnects, redoing any loose solder, etc.), free of charge.
-I prefer to have money paid up front before handing over finished products.

This is a slick idea for a thread. It's too bad it can only be edited by the OP. Guess that's the nature of the forum. If it becomes outdated let me know and I'll get something sorted.

MonoTekETeA

Ow geez. That kinda hurts. But I agree, if I do disappear, hi-jack the code and repost it. I wouldn't mind. I'll keep it updated as long as I am in the scene, which I hope is for a while...

Btw, I won't post every time I update it, because I don't want to bump the thread...that is unless I have permission to...

I think there are more then a few of us that think the exact same thing about modding. Repost when you get some experience and are comfortable with modding and I will put you up.

hakdizzle, I need a bit more clarification as to where in New York you are. Also, I will be linking your post, so it would be nice for people to be able to read a brief description of what your skills are. Not needed, but nice.

Great idea for a thread, I could use a little more exposure. I do everything from modification to console/arcade repairs; even Custom built sticks or (if you're feeling spendy) entire Arcade units out here in Dallas, Texas.

Who else is trying to make some extra pocket change?

spektrum

Spektrum - North Florida/Philadelphia

I do all dual-mods, pad hacks, RJ-45 conversions, custom wiring, troubleshooting and part upgrades.

I never created a thread in the trading outlet because word of mouth has done me very, very well. I take face-to-face and mail orders for those that are curious.

References available upon request.

Awesome idea for a thread though! I'm amazed no one did this sooner.

EdgeKun

Hey, just saw this thread and think it's an awesome idea for helping connect peeps with modders who can help em out. :D

I'm located in Salem, OR and would love to be added to the list. My work history includes modding of Fightstick SEs and TEs (everything from replacing stick / buttons to dual modding PCBs with MC Cthulhus and installing RJ 45 ports), and I also have experience in stick construction from scratch.

The new stick included padhacking a 1st party 360 wireless PCB, then wiring up all connections to it.

Anyway, that's a pretty conclusive list of my stick building abilities. (Just about) Everything short of building the stick case itself. =| If you're in Oregon and want a mod done, send me a PM with the details and I'll reply if it's within my power.

MonoTekETeA

Updated.

Thanks to everyone who has said a good word. I appreciate it, and I am happy to hear ya'll think it is a good idea as well. Help me out and spread the word to anyone else on the forum who is handy with a soldering iron.

Thanks again, keep the iron hot and those connections solid.

So no one in my area does mods at all huh' :/
