Installing a pair of SANWA JLV2-GF2-F0

Simple to install, remove lock washer and pull out spring. Just be careful when removing the Stick as it's greased up with a small ping to secure it.

 

[hyp36rmax]

Looks freaking DOPE! have it sitting next to a Tanita Sanwa TwinStick for comparison.

Another update!

Secured adapters from @Lemony Vengeance to connect the pack-in connectors of the Sanwa JLV-GF2 Sticks to a Brook UFB and Blast City.

Thanks for posting, it looks amazing. How do the real ones feel compared to the Tanita? I was considering the buying a Tanita, but now, I don't know...

Japan yen is low now. If you have the budget, the Sanwa JLV-GF2 Stick is your best choice now.

Sanwa commercial sticks have much more tension than the Tanita Sanwa sticks. Sanwa sells higher tension springs if want to change the feel. I imagine you can make it feel very similar.

Have you noticed any difference between the two?

And I also ask is it possible to replace the bulky Happ sticks in U.S. Virtual On cabs with those Sanwa sticks too.

Hi! Any chance you’d be open to sharing the source for that instruction card?

Or if anyone reading knows where I can find VOOT art or scans, I would appreciate it.

I can try scanning when i get a chance. I sourced this through Alberto when receiving the sticks and panel.

Absolutely! Tanita Sanwa sticks have less tension, you can upgrade those now.

I believe so. height wise should be OK!.

Other than the twin sticks and the custom panel, are there any other major roadblocks to running Virtual On in two cabinets already running a naomi multi?

You'll need two naomi's. each unit leverages P1+P2 controls for each stick respectively.

Can anyone share the files for these English instruction cards? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

If anyone has the amazon sticks in the top link and would like something more original, I designed a 3D printed sleeve to go over the shaft and mate with these handles:

here's a link to the model:

https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c...renderMode=0&uiState=6adb5bdd3b24c18117f82ece

it will accept 4 m5 nuts and the screw from the original joystick to the shaft to prevent rotation. You'll also need to buy 8 6mm m5 allen bolts, and you'll need to wire the triggers up. Hope that helps!
