Where are the pics for the special edition balltops?

I'd like to get a look at them.
Most interested in the silver/white combination.

Apparently, all the custom balltop makers that used to hang around these parts gave up on making them after Christmas last year!

Too bad to hear about "light" inventory but it's understandable given the economy.

I actually really like the gold. Would pick one up if you guys do get it =) hopefully it's not too pricey. Also, is it possible to get some of the og meshballs?

id want the silverish/ white balltop if u get a few in....

We'll see what's possible. Unfortunately I don't yet know what we'll price them because we don't yet have an actual price from the distributor, but likely a bit more than OG meshballs - those were not exclusive to JAEO. Unfortunately myself nor it seems anyone else can get OG meshballs unless you make a giant order - we're talking several thousand dollars - for them. Sorry about that.

Any ETAs on the SANWA OBSC 30MM PLUNGER: CLEAR going to be in stock?

GeorgeC · February 20

Pardon my ignorance,

But what is "OG Meshball?"

Those are just the original meshball designs, "original grid?"
They're the darker mesh grid designs as opposed to the lighter, white grid design meshballs?

GeorgeC · February 20

EDIT:

Yes, I know "OG" means "Original Gangsta."

(Where is the edit function for the old comments??? Everything's been moved around again!)

Not sure if you're the same person on Facebook that asked the question recently, but if not, I'll post our response:

We're awaiting restock on parts this week. The OBSC clear plungers are hard to restock because as soon as we get them, they're gone.

We're working on a solution that will allow us to stock many more clear plungers that will fit Sanwa OBSC. Not only do they work just as well to hold artwork, but you can also shine LEDs through them because everything - including the portion that connects to the microswitch - is clear. We'll have them in April or sooner.

OG Meshball pertains to the pattern. The original had a tighter diamond pattern. See here:

Lol yes I'm the same person that asked on Facebook. Sorry about that.

Hey, there seems to be some confusion about what size hex key your TE bolts take. In the item description is says 3mm (the same as the original TE bolts) but a couple of people are saying it's smaller - 2.5mm? If so this would make them the same cap size as the commonly available replacement bolts in hardware stores. The 3mm size seems like a rarity and unique to TE sticks.

Please clarify.

Hi I'm looking for some RJ-45 pass through plugs for a plastic panel, anyone knows if these are RJ45 to RJ45 or USB to RJR5? the pciture only shows one side of the plug..

If not, which one is the right one to get?

That's just for a bezel, not for the jack itself.

You'll be wanting either one of these:

http://www.focusattack.com/neutrik-ne8fdp-rj45-feed-through-silver/

http://www.focusattack.com/switchcraft-eh-45p5e-series-rj45-connector-black/

Because the Neutrik comes with it's own screws you may find that easier to install in a plastic panel. The Switchcraft jacks are easier for thicker panels, like in a custom made wood case.

VOLDOM · February 21

Well thanks, I'll be getting a pair those Neutriks then, I need them for this:

Is there a white variation of that Neutrik/Switchcraft plug??

Your last two images aren't working for me.

Neutrik only comes in two colours - chrome or black. Switchcraft only comes in black IIRC.

Hi Gahrling,

We'll address the hex key issue in an update to the product description. I've finally had a chance to review and yes, the hex keys from TE are 3mm while the screws are 2.5mm. The hex we sell is the correct size for the screws.

I'll post a note to the forum. We'll address anyone that is having problems with the screws.

I'm afraid that we don't this time. We're working on new features that reward players with bigger discounts than some of the coupon codes usually allow. We'll keep everyone posted on that. That said, we do have a great contest on right now. http://www.focusattack.com/injustice

Hi all,

Our supplier visited Japan Amusement Expo this year and returned some new balltops from Sanwa. Only 1000pcs made so far. Mass production will depend on demand. No retail pricing yet, but here some photos.

Thoughts on this new design?

Please i need that!

GeorgeC · February 25

You know one of the webshops is gonna get these balltops.

Again, I'm sold on the silver and would love to get at least TWO of those if I could afford it. Realistically, IF I'm lucky, I'll maybe get one!

Pretty much all the SRK members making custom balltops for the past 2-3 years seem to have bailed out this past Christmas season... Meshballs and bubbletops ARE nice (and I'd LIKE to get at least one a-piece of those balltops) but sometimes you want different options in bling, too!

Our supplier was negotiating pricing on the balltops with Sanwa. We're still awaiting confirmation.

Can i keep 3 of each ?

Also on Jaepo's Seimitsu stand,there was nothing new?

I'm afraid not. Our supplier said that both companies didn't have much to officially announce or offer this time.

Two questions:

Do you have joystick feet back in stock? I tried clicking on them from the banner on your website but it doesn't do anything.
What is the push button on the neutrik RJ45 passthrough for?

Our fulfillment coordinator Jenni sent you a response today. You ordered on March 4th. Our Qanba orders are fulfilled by a separate party, which can take about 1-2 days to process. Once we receive the tracking information, we will update your status. Thanks!

It is made of glass. There are no seams or mold pieces on the balltop. Qanba also made a black glass balltop, which we'll get into our next supply restock.

iAmDjFLiP,

Here you go:

SparkyJrAssembly.pdf (1.2mb) - Assembly documentation and wiring specifics to ArcEye-type LEDs. Can be applied to Uila LEDs.

SparkyJrUse.pdf (1mb) - Key list of display colors under default button press ,plus description of connectors, motherboard, jumpers, and FTDI headers.

Thanks for the support!

I'm afraid that we have limited colors in stock because our supplier says that the quantity requirement to buy more is incredibly high.

Is there any chance you'll have Sanwa OBSN 24mm Screwbutton in white? I can't even find screwbutton rims in white (in the mix and match section) I'm looking to make yet another huge order and I need 8 of those, but I'm having trouble locating these bad boys.

I'm afraid that Sanwa does not make the OBSN 24mm in white. Oddly they do for their snapbuttons and 30mms, but the colors you see on the site are the ones that they manufacture.

We're working on a new category that will allow you to special order parts we don't yet have at the store, such as Seimitsu PS-14-GN screwbuttons which are in white. This will launch in May.

yes. the only difference between a silent button and a regular button is the felt washer.

Chad · March 31

Do you guys have the Qanba Q1, or plans to stock it?

LittleJimmy1983 · March 31

I know this is an almost weekly question but are you ever going to stock the newer Crown joysticks that mount on Sanwa plates JMAN?

hibachifinal · March 31

when do you guys usually restock? you're all out of black sanwa buttons! :D
