The parts I bought for my arcade stick
Every since I bought SF4 I knew that the stock 360 controller wasn’t going to cut it.
So after a few conversations with Ryan , I broke down and bought some authentic Sanwa parts from Lizard Lick. (That’s a typo waiting to happen)
I picked up a Sanwa JLF-TP-8T Ball Handle Joystick, 4 & 8-Way modes:
And 8 Sanwa OBSF-30 Pushbuttons:
My plan is to tear apart my current wired 360 controller for the PCB and harvest a bit of wood left over from the kitchen reno we recently completed.
Maybe I’ll prove to be better competition online. We’ll see.
If you’re looking for parts in Toronto, The Playdium Store has buttons and sticks, but I’d call first.

@cc Sure, let’s set it up. You’ve got the new baby, so you pick the time.

You should put some cigarette burns on the joystick casing, for the authentic 80s-arcade feel. Maybe hire an angry, unshaven guy to stand in your living room changing quarters for bills.

Nice. Good thing you have some spare woods from your kitchen renovation. Care to share some pictures of your machine that's done?
