WHere can I get control panels?

Post by Acid King »

I'm looking to get a 6 button panel for my Astro for when I untate my monitor for some Neo Geo and CPS action. Any recommendations for places on the net where I can order panels? I'm also curious about how difficult the wiring is for adding the extra buttons.
Feedback will set you free.

You can got it from Sanwa.

Panel usual sold together with the joystick and buttons.

I would recommend Excellentcom.net or wait for SGO #7 (group order here).
If someone on the forums has one for sale on the cheap, that would be great too of course. Astro panels pop up on ebay from time to time, but the condition has generally been deplorable.

About the wiring for additional buttons, it is very easy to add. With the Sanwa Blast City panel you will not even have to deal with it. They come with everything wired and CPS-1+2 kick harness attached. Just plug and play. For MVS, you might need to add one wire from the JAMMA harness if you want to use button 4.
