wanted: sanwa buttons

[thoughtcriminal]

hello.
i want some sanwa buttons for my supergun project, has anyone had any sucess with excellentcom.net? i noticed an earlier thread, but they didn't seem to have any luck.
if anyone is up for a joining in a large order to share postage, um, reply to this topic.
quite worried about the payment methods though, on their site.

They emailed me with a quote within 24 hours, and they take paypal so you would be covered if anything went wrong.

I would be up for ordering some parts if you wanted to get an order together.

I'm making an order sometime soon as I intend to try out these buttons.

I've heard nothing but good things about them so I don't have any wories about paying by credit card in advance.

I'm looking to get about 40 buttons in total (either all black or in the neo colours)

[thoughtcriminal]

they take paypal?
sorted.

yeah, i'll be putting an order in soon then.
i was thinking of getting a mixture of pink and green buttons, sega astro style, and a few yellow 24mm for the start buttons.

the trouble is, i currently only have a debit card, so, by most methods i wouldn't be covered, but as long as they take paypal, that should be ok.

nigel, i'd be interested in sharing an order, but i also want to buy a lot of mvs cartridges and a six slot from them, amazing prices, so might not be a good idea with the costly postage to share!

john, i don't think sanwa do buttons in black, but that woudl be well good, an all black japanese joystick.

[johnkiddier]

Good point, they don't do black buttons. Shame though.

I'll probably go for all red or all blue.

I'll get a price in the next few days and take it from there.

[thoughtcriminal]

yeah, i was thinking about all blue, that would be wikkid also.

anyway, yeah, tell me what happens, after knowing that i can pay by paypal, i may do a very large order, but as i said, it will most likely be sega-type colours.

not sure what make they are, i asked the seller, and he said nomco, he probably meant namco right? what sticks do namco use?

[johnkiddier]

It looks to be a Seimitsu LS55 according to the Seimitsu website.

Damn good stick, completely different feel to a Sanwa.

Funny that arcade buttons are about 420Yen in several shops in Tokyo. ^_^
