[joeks]

Very nice!

Did my two chairs a while back. Well worth the effort for sure.

Good work.

Thanks chaps. It's definately worth the effort - I got all the bits (foam, material) for under £20 which is enough for probably 8 stools.

This may be a known, but...

Where do you get those stools from in the first place. My plastic Ikea *** are giving me a square ****.

Japan.

I'd suggest you measure the height of the CP on your Ponys first. The Mk 3's for example are higher than an Astro/Windy/Egret and these stools seat you too low for them.

Aye - some of the braver peeps import them from Yahoo Japan, and occasionally the likes of RKLOK get them in as space fillers on containers of machines.

I got two of mine from Cools with the Windies and three more from Markedkiller78 just yesterday. All slightly rough, but all will clean up beautifully.

...I got .... three .... from Markedkiller78 just yesterday...

Yeah, sorry you didn't get the forth. I had asked for it a while ago, but Mark and I are pretty busy people and we've not been able to arrange a time we are both available yet. Sorry! I can assure you I'll appreciate it though as I've been playing on upturned Ikea plastic buckets for several months. Sore on the butt!

[Devil Soundwave]

No worries mate, i was just being cheeky and chancing my arm anyway...

I needed at least 5 for my placement, and I have those, so all is good.

[markedkiller78]

I still have yours here Parris. I’ll see if we can swing by this weekend when we take the dog out.

8 of mine came from YHJ. 1 from Rklok & another 2 from Mr Megalo (New & direct from river service)

I’m down to 6 now in my personal, which is handy as I plan on cutting back on cabs over the summer (or when I get a spare 10 seconds

They are too low for a cyberlead & too high for an Aero Table. New, you could be looking at £60-100 ea! So as cools says, measure up before you drop a fortune on them.

Unbolt seat, then use small pliers your **** to pull out every staple:

Who wants to play guess the body part?

Sounds like an opportunity for someone good with metal like FrancoB to make a mint off selling custom JP-style arcade stools at varying heights for various cabinets.

Nice refurb DS I hope your weren't taking one of those pics in your pants
(I was going to word it shots in your pants, But I knew you'd have a field day with that one )

Grief, your dog must like a damned good walk, I am miles away

Yeah, that would be good!

[Devil Soundwave]

Yep, that would be my hairy leg.

Not my tripod extension, no.

[tenrohle]

now I cant look at my stool with anything but contempt

[pubjoe]

Where would I buy replacement stool caps?

I sort of expected that (whenever I could be arsed to look for them) searching ebay or google shopping for "stool caps" and sorting by lowest price would present me with loads for about 20p each. But it didn't work!

[cools]

Ferrules.

[pubjoe]

Ferrules.

Cheers. My last 20 searches brought me to pages of smurf hats and fury leg warmers.

These look like the best match. I can't find any tapered ones.
