neo_rg Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 This looks like a top quality mod kit. If I had the funds right now I'd snap your arm off. If you're going to PRGE I could get one from you there.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the hardest part. Now it takes a few minutes. I have no idea about PRGE. Hoping to go, but not sure. Probably know at beginning of August.

tbs123456 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 How much minus a box since I just bought a box from you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42bs Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 What is the weight w/o the box? Sending in a blister envelope? I see international package start at 16USD. Reducing to the minimum would help. No box, no wrist band, no photo (could be emailed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you don't want it, take off $13. Send me a PM if interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHATEIT Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Dude I would love if you made a wireless adapter for the Jag, with the ability to put the battery inside the unit and ditch the cord. But man this is awesome, I hwve the rotary box you sold and this knob looks sweet! I need to learn how to solder for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 This kit is meant for the "B" series controllers. These are available new from the usual suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as soldering, just watch a few videos, get a good iron, and practice on a broken board. One rainy day and you are off and running. You can solder with a cheap iron, but it is not fun(at least for me). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be an $800 Metcal either though. An entry-level $100 Weller or Hakko should be just fine for hobby work. Just avoid the $20 Amazon kits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my current iron was $75. Not the most expensive, but sure is better than the old $10 radio shack iron. I got a buddy who uses a propane iron(well under $100 too). He does a lot of on-site work. He has years of practice and it shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Just want to give a big shoot out to @Bratwurst for designing the encoder mount. It makes putting these rotary encoders together so much quicker and easier. Great job Andre! Edited April 22, 2023 by Machine 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cubanismo Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Gotta say, I've been playing some Tempest 2000 with one of these (Pre-built, I got the last of the last round. Otherwise the kit would be sitting in my closet for a year or so waiting for a non-lazy evening), and the rotary precision is just perfect. You can whip around the web for sure, but with just a few minute's practice, you can also place the claw anywhere you want anytime. Not sure if it's the rotary, or that I've been playing a lot of Tempest 3000 on Nuon lately, but I bumped my key level up 6 places tonight (to a paltry 35 I believe). I think it's the rotary personally 😁 T3K has a pretty different feel/strategy set. T2K is F1, T3K is... NASCAR... no, wait, not even that. Something more like this. I still need to try it out on Rebooteroids too. Got a Skunk more or less perma-mounted in one Jaguar in here, and the Gamedrive perma-mounted in the other, so I've been too lazy to go dig the cartridge out of the closet thus far.

Machine Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) I will be putting together one small run of complete boxed rotary controllers. I will be using these kits for them. I am doing 6 completed ones. Look for a post soon or drop me a PM. On 4/18/2023 at 10:42 PM, 42bs said: What is the weight w/o the box? Sending in a blister envelope?

danny_galaga Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I used to use a 36ppr encoder. How many is this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a ton of research and ordered a bunch of encoders. Finally settled on 24. Seems to be the best option for all the games that can play them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanSong Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Got my two, I'll fully open tomorrow as a busy day and night but highly impressed with packaging, a box sealed the "jaguar" shipping boxes that sealed the bubble wrapped rotory box and controllers, very impressive. Can't wait to crack open tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
