How to make a Sanwa Joystick better!

[@robsonp2109]

I was going to buy another one, since the problem was just to replace the broken spring =), thank you very much for the great video.

[@retroworksarcade323]

I'm glad my video helped you out.🙂 You can find them on Amazon and other sites everywhere...

After trying out a 2lb spring I would love a 1.5lb spring right in the middle.

[@wiggygfe]

Just give the stock spring a bit of a stretch, works a treat.

[@jarnbjorn4522]

@@wiggygfe works for a little while then it return to it's original tension after a week of heavy play.

[@derpmellow2]

4lb spring makes my carpel tunnel flare, stock ones are 2lbs i find thats best, but i do upgrade them to nicer 2lb springs because they are like 1$

[@KeithKillingly]

I got a 6lb spring and think I made a mistake lol. I thought it’s what I used to use. 3 games and my hand is fried

[@derpmellow2]

@@KeithKillingly 2lb is def better then 6 lol, i think like 2.5-3 pounds would be sweet spot, but 4 was for sure to much, and 2 is for sure to little

[@retroworksarcade323]

Yeah it tends to happen, there's alot of cheap stuff coming from China, make sure you get yours from a reputable source like for example Paradise arcade shop...

[@retroworksarcade323]

Yes, sometimes you have to experiment with a few different ones until you find the one you like best.

[@RedRanger2001]

Some people just buy either the LS-33 or the LS-55 spring and put it inside the JLF spring...

[@retroworksarcade323]

Good tip.

[@OMER-b5u]

How many lbs is the original and how many lbs is your upgrad

[@AvnerRosenstein-ULTRA-LXV]

The problem with adding different springs to the stock arcade1up sticks is good luck getting them out if you want to use the same springs in a new sanwa lol. I did this with my arcade1up sticks and honestly I didn't think it was that much better. Bought genuine Sanwa sticks instead and when I decided to take the 6lb springs back out of the stock sticks...it was impossible. I had no trouble putting the 6lb springs in the stock sticks but so much trouble taking them back out that I actually broke them in pieces to get the springs out. They're way more durable than what people think. Sanwa's are so much easier to deal with regardless. The little pin that holds the actuator on in Sanwa's are bigger and easier to remove/install than the Stock Arcade1up sticks. The stock Arcade1up pin's suck bad!

so if i want to loose the joystick handle than what can do?

[@alvinkim1305]

Did they have different tension springs in the very first Fighting game arcade cabinets?

[@retroworksarcade323]

I'm not exactly sure when these different tension springs came out for Sanwas but maybe they did.

[@nobodytonobodysbusiness]

@@retroworksarcade323 From what I understand, no - people learned to play on a JLF or an LS-32. The spring swapping came much later on when the home market for sticks took off.

[@QCJSiteB]

What's your website? Can't find you.

[@retroworksarcade323]

So sorry, I have to set that up. I do not have a website yet, but you can find me on Instagram under the same name "retroworkskustoms"...🙂

[@QCJSiteB]

@@retroworksarcade323 Alright thanks, I'm not on instagram.

[@MichaelHarto]

4 lbs is too strong, it's going to wear down your pivot and silicone grease fast. 1.5 - 2 lbs is better.

[@HomeAutomated-v2r]

Bullshit, the pivot takes ages to.wear

[@dragborn926]

You can get titanium pivot

[@MichaelHarto]

@@dragborn926 it's even worse, the force of the spring will wear down the pivot housing. You want your pivot to be softer than the house, when friction happens the pivot material will wear out slowly.

[@dragborn926]

@@MichaelHarto use titanium and silicone grease. Many people swear by this

[@dragborn926]

The force of the spring reduces over time with use

[@fabulousasia9848]

Nice tips!

[@retroworksarcade323]

thank you! I'm glad they helped.

[@ingarni654]

excelente video , la verdad si me falta un resorte mas fuerte y mas jugado teken 8 , la bolita es diminuta y para rematar el resorte pierde resistencia tan fácil que al estar haciendo movimientos que sueles hacer ya no se siente esa resistencia a como era nuevo , saludos desde México

[@genesissmith8833]

I needed this video...u da man😎👍

[@-Jamie]

I brought 2 new springs and with in a few days it went back to normal lol

[@lazyboy1042]

Is 4lb spring more reliable than 2lb

[@TexasHollowEarth]

Yes. All springs become softer after getting broken-in. 4lb springs feel nice after breaking-in. 1 & 2 lbs get too loose for my liking. I prefer an American-style stick, feel.

[@ahra_1970]

Ha ha ,no good for wade dash ,for tekken.

[@PharoahsKingdom]

That's what Korean levers are for...

[@reng.2588]

​@@PharoahsKingdomsprings and grommets work differently though. This 4 lbs one is hella stiffer than a grommet

[@SlickRick4EVER]

Not to be THAT guy, but you called the restrictor gate an actuator at the end. Letting that pass, you did a great job!

[@rh6368]

I'm so glad you were able to that pass, I bet it means so much to him that you could take time out of your day to correct his minor slip.
