I'm looking for the 2L6B panel that originally came with the Astro City:

Looking for one without any extra holes drilled into it in decent (does not have to be perfect) condition. I don't need it to be populated but I would also like to have the original Seimitsu NA LS-32 mounting plates it originally came with, as they're no longer in production:

If that is your control panel in the picture, get the right sized hole punch and turn it into a 6-button layout. You'll need to drill the pilot hole to use that hole punch, but it would be cheaper than buying a new CP. Then you can resell the hole punch. Just measure twice and drill/punch hole once.

It's not my panel, but a picture of the kind of panel I want. I am looking for a 2L6B panel, that's a panel with 2 levers and 6 buttons total, 3 per player (with no extra holes drilled in). This is the original panel Astro Citys shipped with, you can tell by the Sega logo in the center. Later on Sanwa and Seimitsu made 2L12B panels, these say "Licensed by Sega" where the Sega logo is. This is also how you can tell if the 2L12B panel you're buying came from the factory that way or had holes drilled in after the fact.
 
I have one, but the person who owned it before me glued the seimitsu buttons in. So you'll have to break them off. Like most of these panels it is rusted on the back, but not that bad. I also have 3 of those LS-32 mounting plates, but no screw mounts. I'm willing to let it go for cheap. Let me know if you're interested.

PM me some pics please!
 
I might also have one, but not the mounting plates. Will also dig up and bring photos

depending on the condition I might still be interested in one without plates so yeah show me some pics!
 
Hit up @alberto1225 and see if he has a repro in that configuration, his panels are beautiful, all my Astros have them.
 
I have one as well and the mounting brackets. I’ll dig them up and share pictures.
 
Here are pictures of the panel with wiring harness:

I’ll look for the brackets next. I last saw them still attached to the joysticks and in a box somewhere.
Wow, yours is quite clean!
Thanks! I think I know why it looks so good. I've had it sitting in a box for years as I didn't want to sell it without knowing which are the correct joystick mounting brackets for this panel. None of the 3 brackets I have at hand seem to be the right ones.

Yeah this panel takes Seimitsu NA plates which are no longer made. I will buy it without the plates though since it's in great shape, and just wait till I can find some brackets or make some (or if someone in the thread wants to sell just their plates I would be happy to)
 
If you find a good supplier for something like Seimitsu to Sanwa sticks, let us know too. I have enough good Seimitsu sticks and parts for now, but eventually I'm going to need that badly.
