Shawn Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 All the parts I ordered for the paddles are now at the PO. Wife will drive over to pick them all up on Thursday or Friday. Will build them all up and get in touch with those on the reserved list soon after that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Mitchell Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Those of you with the Wico splitter for the 5200 can easily wire up a paddle to go into it to play analog games. Thats what I did. Also I wired up a paddle for the Vectrex .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 This is why my first paddle is so smooth and why I’m buying a second one. Thank you Shawn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the pots have now been cleaned from their bases to their wipers for jitter free smooth sailing Gonna drill the start buttons tomorrow and then start assembly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Kaboomer Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Just OxyCleaned™ the 30 to 40 years worth of God knows what from God knows who off them all. Not to diverge too much from the thread, but since you mentioned it, would you mind a little more explanation of this? I have a bunch of Paddles needing cleaning and I've used Tuner electrical cleaner + air spray (didn't want to risk unscrewing the pot) with a little success, but didn't clean completely.

I have a bunch of Paddles needing cleaning and I've used Tuner electrical cleaner + air spray (didn't want to risk unscrewing the pot) with a little success, but didn't clean completely. The Palmolive OxiClean is just disinfectant dish soap for the paddle housings and buttons to get them clean. To dejitter the pots, most the time you just need a little wd40. If that doesn't work you can take them apart and clean them by hand and re-grease them with whatever grease you prefer. I've used bearing lube with great success in the past.

Shawn Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 One of the cords from console5 was a dud. No connection at the header for at least one of the wires needed for the paddle. I'm talking to them about a replacment right now. In better news the other 7 are completed and ready. I will be contacting those who asked in order of listing which means Bemis will be waiting on his, sorry dude. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Since I already purchased one, I’m fine with moving to the end of the list. This paddle is amazingly smooth and I would like everyone else to have one too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bemis Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Thanks for letting me move up on the list. Looking forward to trying out Shawn's creation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Got mine! Thank you! Awesome! I've ordered the last 3 neo geo cords to make up the last of these 5200 paddles. I will be able to get sramirez2008 a second one and then the last 2 are probably going to Protestari. He wanted 4 of them but I'm tapped out at the last 2. Maybe down the road I'll source more parts to do another run of these for the rest of the interested parties but for now this is the end of the line. Thanks to all for playing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I was considering four, but now I know that I can go to Protestari’s house to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I was considering four, but now I know that I can go to Protestari’s house to play. You would need a y adapter or something to use a number pad to pick the game options. Different games use different keys or I would have added another button for those that are buying 2 or more paddles so they can use more than 1 paddle at a time.

GaryH917 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Received mine today. Looks great! Thanks again for making these Shawn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bohoki Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 those are pretty cool seems like a waste of a good connector to not put a 15 pin male passthrough connector on it i know cutting a rectangle hole is kind of hard and you have to do a couple slight bends to fit those controller nubs ooh what am i thinking just another hole out to a wire with a plug on it kind of like they did with the competition pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a paddle, fire 1 and start. I don't want the final product to look like a total mess cutting the hell out of the paddle nor do I want to add that much more work for something I'm only getting $45 bucks for. You go nuts making what you are describing if you think there is a market for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohoki Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 i didnt mean to criticize yea they look great so clean i just feel bad people cant play pole postion with it i almost want to offer to install a hi/low switch for $10 and use these kerjiggers https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Pcs-AC-ON-OFF-SPDT-2-Position-Latching-Toggle-Switch-DT/252501590734 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you will get $50 for them where I was only charging $45. I'm finishing up the last 3 I have people waiting on and after that I have no plans to make more anytime soon. There isn't any toes to be stepped on and maybe you will find a market for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shantke Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I would buy two from the next possible run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
