Hi everyone,

I would like to introduce my services for building custom arcade sticks to your specifications.

WWW.B15SDMDESIGNS.COM

I have set up the above website in order to show some of my works and the sort of services I can provide.

http://www.joystickvault.com/showgallery.php?ppuser=2812&cat=500

You can also see more images on the joystick vault website if you want to see the customs from more angles.

All prices are listed in the "store" section. I have split the types of customs into three categories. Hopefully they should cover your requirements. IF they dont, then drop me an email with your exact specifications giving as much information as possible and I will provide you with a fixed price for the build.

For shipping rates please refer to my website. I know the shipping is pretty expensive to USA & Canada but that is the cheapest I can arrange it for.

If you have any questions feel free to drop me an email to the following address:

b15sdmdesigns@hotmail.co.uk

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL PRICES MENTIONED ARE IN GBP (GREAT BRITISH POUNDS)

Thankyou

I WILL BE ACCEPTING PAYPAL PAYMENTS PURELY FOR THE SALE OF THE ITEMS BELOW!

Current Pre-built Arcade Sticks/Cases for Sale:

HORI VLX (used)

For sale, I have a Hori VLX arcade stick in very good condition. It has been used by myself since purchasing it brand new quite some time ago and rarely gets any use. It mostly sits on my shelf now and hardly gets any playtime due to being busy with work and family.

As you can tell I have replaced the top panel with a custom one which I created myself using a high grade stainless steel panel and extended plexi which covers slightly more area than the stock panel. In order to preserve the stick I decided to remove the original stock panel which will come part of this deal (see photo).

I also tided up the wiring using tech-flex and heat shrink tubing. I realise pink isn't everyone's kind of colour so its easily removed. I also reconfigured the buttons so the layout matches the following as opposed to the stock one. Again, this can be easily switched back by reconnecting the quick disconnects however you like.

A B RT LT

Sadly, I no longer have the box as it received water damage while sitting on my garage floor. This deal will come with the stability board, original control panel, instruction manual (lol) and obviously the arcade stick.

Please see below photos of the arcade stick.













Here is a close up of some very light damage it received after my 3 year old son decided to try and lift it off the table only to then drop it on its side (on the carpet).

Absolutely noooo idea how this happened. Still a mystery.




I realise the artwork which is supplied with the stick is absolutely no good to anyone and am willing to provide a new one to your specification/theme/design for a fee. This can be discussed with serious buyers.

I would like £260 with free shipping to US, Canada and most of Europe. All other locations please enquire.

I'm normally not a fan of sticks featuring Chun-Li, but I really like the one you made. Dhalsim looks great too.

I'd love to see what you do with Guy.

@K: Chun stick is on his website.

Ketchy Kech

Im in the process of re-doing the mini stick for my own personal use. Watch out for it, im going to use all the different painting techniques all on one case. Almost like a show case piece.

Ketchy Kech

Haha, thats great to hear, I love the smaller designs, as they are more portable and do not compromise on gameplay ~ look forward to seeing it!

.Cobra

Really want that shoto stick, but I ain't got the cash, and I know shipping would be absolutely killer.

ibeatu

whats the average shipping price? or is shipping included here?

b15sdm

Shipping is extra. To ship a custom to the US costs me 42 and that is the cheapest I can have it sent for. I must say it is quite ridiculous, but there is no other option for a package of this size and weight. Im not sure if you can arrange a collection from the UK and have it delivered to you in the US. It might be cheaper if you arrange it from your end, im not sure.

Before I assumed that sending an item like this standard post (7-10 working days) would be half the price but turns out its the same for Express 3 day service.

By the way, I am taking VERY near offers aswell. So send me an offer and I will consider it. Yes shipping is extra.

Its a shame really because the exchange rate not only kills it for you, but it does for me aswell.

Exceed^

Man, I'd love to buy that Bison stick but 242 is $400+ American! (If I did the conversion right)

b15sdm

Yes, its something like that. I would love to build it for what other builders in the US are making them for, but it would prove pointless as there would be nothing left in it for me. As a matter of fact I would owe you money at the end of it. lol

This is a good site for your customers to use for exchange rates. Perhaps you can put it in your OP.

I would LOVE to buy a custom from you but my pockets are extremely dry right now.

Google also has a lot of hidden features to do conversions.

Example: "150 EUR in USD"

Orphen

Well this guys customs are amazing. If you got the money, def invest in one. :] good luck man.

skyblue1106

your work are super ultra. love to have one. but recently got a Amboyna stick. or else get shoto stick for sure. good luck on your sell. i'm sure they gone fast.

kte03

Awesome! You opened up a shop :D

This guy is definitely my favorite stick maker ever. Sick paint jobs, and also imo, the best. Also very communicative :D

Buy from him!

frictor

Damn those are beautiful, wish i had the money to grab the 'rog stick.

b15sdm

Shipping rates reduced on these current sticks.

Shipping now only 20 worldwide fedex 3day service!

Apocalypse

God those sticks are beautiful. I just wanted to make sure, an empty case would cost 150? Just the case, with no buttons, etc.

DangerDave00

That Yun stick is super clean. All these sticks are awesome, the shipping kills it for US buyers, but I can definitely see these being a hit with people in Europe.

kte03

haha Danger, B15 has had more North American customers than Europeans I think.

speedsterharry

When you know that TE sticks were sold at about 400 EUR in March due to the arcade sticks shortage, what you ask for is a steal for europeans. I expected your sticks to be sold much much higher.

DangerDave00

Wow, thats great. I wish there were a cheaper way to ship though, I'd love to buy one of these.

WeaponsLeft

The weakness of the US dollar absolutely sucks. B15 would be rich if he lived/built in the States. Beautiful work.

Yes a complete custom case EXCEPT parts is 150. I have noticed a sudden increase in these orders, I guess its to keep the costs dowm.

@eveyrone: the exchange rate really kills it sadly but there is not alot I can do about it.

If you are genuinely interested in one of the sticks shown send me a near offer and I may consider it..... I just need to get rid of these to make room for more.

Behemoth88

Oh fuck, you make iL sticks too? I'm definitely gonna contact you for one once i get settled in. I just moved to the UK and I could definitely catch a train to london instead of paying for shipping.

Lefty

Bump for B15.
;)

Foamz

please update.

.Cobra

Do you still have that balrog stick? I might consider picking it up sometime soon if it's available and I can get the cash. *_*

You say it's a slim design, but I could use a madcatz SE or TE PCB to wire it up, correct?

ibeatu

got my joker case in today goddam its so sexy

Mr.Nannie

IS the Yun stick or the Bison(free1UP) stick still available
I'm assuming the Bison one isn't since I do believe it was made for the user Free1up.

Stoic

Had to comment and say you have beautiful stick designs and a very nice webpage too! :] I hope to order from you one day! Amazing stuff!

b15sdm

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the lack of replies to some of your messages. I have just been really busy and totally forgot about this thread I opened.

Anyway, having completed the last batch of orders I have decided to make limited (REAL LIMITED) runs of custom blank cases to help keep the price down for customers.

The first batch of limited cases will be similar to the custom cabinet I made. I will probably make about 20 of them along with plexi panels and Bewlix artwork so the customer can fit their own parts and wire it up aswell. Again this is to keep costs down to make my work abit more affordable.

I am still working out shipping rates for blank cases as I assume they will be cheaper than complete custom orders. The price of the cases will be approximately £100 but I will confirm soon so check back at a later date.

Once I sell the first batch of limited design cases I will create a completely new case design and make a further limited batch of 20 cases and so on.

All of the cases will be a 6 button Vewlix layout with 3p & 4k on the right had side of the case and start,select & home on the back.

Turn around time on these will be alot quicker than a full custom order, I would say about 5working days.

If this is something you may be interested in drop me a message and we can take it from there.

Lefty

Hey B5, will these new cases be painted? I'm sure most of your potential customers would want to know.

b15sdm

Oh yes, sorry. They will be painted! The first batch of cases will be black and white and there will be no special requests for different colours at this stage.

I am just putting together a nicer description of the case and a sketchup model to show you all how it will look and be built. For reference have a look at my custom cabinet thread and scroll down abit. It will basically look like this except for the opaque acrylic movelist section.

http://shoryuken.com/f177/b15sdm-designs-vewlix-custom-arcade-cabinet-work-log-234745/index8.html



It will basically be the same as this but with no parts, pcb or wiring.

spenzalii

That's pretty cool. an 8 button Bewlix layout (like you have above) would be nice, if you could do it. I'd love to know the price, as that would be a nice piece to have

etownnipples

Just making sure, it'd be a single case right? and not a 2-player panel?

I'd love a 2 player panel myself lol, looks hot

b15sdm

It will definately be a 1p case. I will be making 10 x 6 button sticks and 10 x 8 button sticks to cater for both types of players.

Here is the basic artwork I am proposing to include with both models. There will be an option to have the button labels or without.

Crhustle

Damn I wish you were in the states. That dual is straight sex.

protomanSTi

What is the actual size going to be b15?

spenzalii

Yeah, that is rather pimped out idea. I'd have to save my pennies as shipping to the states is sure to be extremely expensive

Ikagi-chan

Hey b15sdm, I just wanted to drop in and say your work is superb! I've been utterly impressed with everything you've posted up in the custom stick thread over in Tech Talk and I'm sure your customers are mad hype to be getting these cases.

It's been bugging me for a while, but ever since you've started regularly getting orders with the Paewang PCB, your customers seem to ask for only 3 Console Navigation buttons. If this is the case, how do they access the Paewang's Turbo button to swap console compatibility? Do you have Turbo and another button like Start/Back wired up to the same button or something?

Lefty

Shipping is only about 45 bucks from the UK and it gets here in like 3 or 4 days. I think that's worth it.
