Thought this would be the ideal place for people who may be interested in a modded x-arcade solo stick i'm selling on ebay. It's modded with all Happ competition buttons and joystick and cherry microswitches and comes with xbox and usb adapter.
Yeah I know this is a shameless plug, but it's an item which may interest the sort of people who come to this forum, like me.
If you don't want / like it then thankyou for looking and please move on.
details below....

X-Arcade solo joystick, personnally modified by myself to replace the standard stock joystick, buttons and microswitches with the exact parts that are found actual USA / UK style arcade cabinets.
All buttons, joystick and microswitches have been removed and replaced with the following: (value of modded & inc. parts in brackets)
'HAPP' Competition pro joystick (£15)
'HAPP' Competition buttons (12 concave) (£18)
'CHERRY' Microswitches (£11)
This leaves you with a competition grade arcade stick for your home consoles or pc, that uses exactly the same parts as found in the USA / UK Street Fighter 2 arcade machine.
Also included is:
X-Arcade Xbox adapter :Connect your X-Arcade joystick to an Xbox console (original, not 360) with this adapter. (£25)
X-Arcade Y-mouse USB adapter: Connect your X-Arcade joystick to a PC USB port with this adapter. (inc. but not pictured) (£25)
X-Arcade PC adapter leads: Connect your X-Arcade joystick to a PC keyboard port with this adapter.
All original stock parts included should you wish to keep them as spares.
Original X-Arcade instruction manual.
Condition:
I like to consider myself a connoisseur of retro-gaming and as such have always looked after my gaming equipment. This particular stick is in excellent condition with barely a mark on it to suggest it has been used. If actually has seen very little use, as my first child came along soon after i modded it and it left precious little time for gaming! hence the sale.
I have tried to take some close up pictures to show just how good the condition of the stick is in. The back, sides and bottom of the stick which are not shown on the pictures are in just as good condition.
I have not allowed watches or bracelets to be worn whilst using this stick, they scratch!
The Stick has been kept in it's own dedicated drawer, in dry, pet free, smoke free and smell free conditions!
It all works in perfect order and has been tested on both my original xbox using the adapter and pc through the keyboard and usb ports.
It is simply 'the' authentic arcade-at-home experience and a great trade off it the other half won't let you get a full size cab into the living room!
I have put a reserve simply to reflect the time and cost of the additional arcade parts and adapters that are included, i'm sure you'll agree that it represents great value for money.
The unmodded version of this solo stick is currently, and for some time, been unavailable either directly through X-Arcade themselves or their only uk re-sellers, gremlin solutions - it can't be got anywhere, even with the inferior standard parts - google it yourself!
