Changing Sanwa JLF fitment to Semitsu LS32 fitment

Post by tetsujin »

Ok, I have a Astro 1 player pane that has a Sanwa JLF stick, its a nice stick but prefer the Semitsu LS32 stick.

How can I/what do I need to make the Semitsu replace the Sanwa?

Besides a new mounting plate?

You need 8 space connectors, 4 daisy chained to ground (white wire) the other 4 attached to the other wires on your stick harness

Alternatively a PCB/switch assembly from an LS32-01 with the connector inserted upside down (I believe) compared to the JLF

I should of said, I have a 8x spade connector 1 player Sega loom for the Semitsu LS32.


All I am after is the actual MOUNTING of the stick

As the plates for the LS32 is MUCH larger that the Sanwa ones.

A new panel.

No, I'm not kidding. You need the RE plate for the LS32 to fit it there, which will make it sit too low.

Good point, you'll need the extended shaft too, Arcadeshop.de sells both, shafts are quite pricey though

Fairly confident it'll sit too high with that. :crazy:

Get some washers/spacers between the plates, mount it at any height you prefer

i don't think it sits "too low" to function, it's just lower than you might expect.

I will take it apart later, and see how much room there is on the std mount, I might just make my own mounting plate :)
