- Last BB I picked up came with Wico 360’s. Didn’t like them, swapped them out, but that is just me. Part of the reason for those being put into use back in the day was due to the extended downtime/loss of revenue that an operator would face if a switch-based stick ever clunked out before they could get to the site to repair it. 360’s tended to be more durable therefore more suitable in a commercial environment. Today, in a private collection, the only reasons to keep them in is if you’re a purist or that is your preference. Otherwise, swap them out for whatever you prefer: iL Eurosticks, the Japanese stuff (stay away from today’s Chinese Happ garbage though). It’s yours, do what you like. But whatever you do, don’t make an irreversable mod to the panel.
Measurements:
- 360’

- Very nice! I freaking love my CPS2 and CPS3 multi from Darksoft. Am anxiously awaiting the completion of the CPS1 multi being worked on now too.

- can someone with a big blue help me out
- I have two control panels and both are a real mess
- one had a trackball in the middle of it
- I need pictures of the control panel wiring and pics of the harness hookup?
- I am assuming this is just 2 plug ins
- one for player 1 and one for player 2
- I am using a pandoras box to at least get the game working for now and will eventually probably hook up a dedicated cps2 grand master challenge
- I am really looking at hooking up my new sticks from focus attack but at looking my current setup its a real hacked up mess
- thanks

- Someone here was looking for a control panel
- I have two now one with a giant hole in it
- And another original in nice shape
- So I’m going to make one nice one out of the two
- But the harnesses are a butchered mess and I need to see how it all looks molex to joystick wise
- Mine has the two big molex than a 3rd line molex for the joysticks??

- SillyB said: I’ll try to grab a pic for you, but yes there are molex connectors to P1 and P2 which route back to the jamma harness and the kick harness. Click to expand…

- If I had a big blue these would have been mine already. 3 marquees, 2 very rare. I never seen Puzzle Fighter before now. Someone snatch these up!

- Anybody know were to get a good repro gen 2 monitor shroud? Not the wood, just the piece that move list stickers go on. I always want to call it construction paper, but I know that’s not right. Poster board? I don’t know…hopefully you guys know what I’m talking about. Looking to get a good repro, as mine went by the wayside long ago.
