Brook have announced an update to their already impressive Universal Fighting Board, the UFB Fusion.
Details are a little thin on the ground right now but we’re placing an order and expect to have stock in mid June. Pricing will be similar to the existing UFB. Add one to your wishlist by clicking on the product below and be notified when we get them in.
Hi everyone! Just a quick announcement – previously we sourced our Sanwa JLF joysticks from two sources… one distributor supplied the joysticks boxed, the other distributor supplied the joysticks just in a bag. This was the only difference and in every other way the sticks are identical.
We’ve been unhappy in how the boxed joysticks have looked after delivery – often the boxes appear a little chewed at the corners or crumpled. We’ve always verified that the sticks are fine but we feel that there’s potential for our customers to be disappointed in the state of the box, so we’ve made the decision to drop boxed sticks from our catalogue and instead only ship unboxed sticks.
We hope that you, the customer, are happy with this choice and that you continue to shop with us here at Pincade as we strive to be a dependable source of genuine Sanwa products sourced straight from Japan. Please let us know if you want us to continue to stock boxed sticks.
We’re rapt that a new shipment of items from Sanwa Denshi and Seimitsu has arrived from Japan.
This has been a good opportunity to stock back up on popular items including OBSF, OBSJ and OBSN buttons, however we’ve got some new products to showcase too!
Seimitsu PS-14HH-PSN-x screw in buttons.
These buttons have a holographic foil embedded into their surface and when light shines on them they sparkle like crystals.
They’re the same size as a Sanwa OBSN-30, they are retained with a screw nut and suit thicker control surfaces.
Seimitsu PS-14HH-K-Cx snapin buttons.
Featuring a coloured translucent shell and plunger but with a holographic foil embedded on the plunger surface, they also reflect light and look great.
These buttons are similar to Sanwa OBSF-30s, they have little tabs on the side and are designed to snap in to a thinner control panel.
Sanwa JLF-S9F replacement shaft if you need to replace the shaft in your JLF joystick and you want to retain the factory style.
Sanwa nylon LB-35 balltops.
These guys have a finish like felt so will feel soft and velvety under your fingers.
Those are just a few of the new items we have in store. Have a browse and see if there’s anything you’d like – if you want anything we don’t stock give us a yell and if we chose to stock it we’ll give you a discount on your next order.
Sanwa announced a new joystick at JAEPO 2023, the JLX. A slight evolution on their mainstay JLF and available mid year.
Of course we’ll be getting them in and you’ll be able to buy Aussie stock soon – we’ll post when we have them available.
Seasons greetings from us here at Pincade! We hope you have a safe end of year and we look forward to helping you in 2023 with parts for your pinball and arcade machines.
Please note our opening hours over the Christmas season.
We’ll close up on Friday 23 December and reopen Monday 16 January!
