Spacers for Nichibutsu boards?

Post by Ed Oscuro »

I just got a non-working (so advertised, I haven't tested it yet to find out the potential level of deadness) a Terra Cresta, and it needs some spacers. I assume some short lengths of a kind of thin tubing might work, held together by screw + nut and more spacers, but I was wondering if there isn't something more precise I could work with, or better yet some other source of appropriate spacers, i.e. out of old computer parts. Any ideas?

(Maybe a placeholder for eventually checking out the actual board as well. Good thing I've found the right forum this time!)

I just used a bunch of PC motherboard standoffs. Just screw them into each other to make a longer standoff.
My Terra Cresta board is rather finicky, but it may be due to the homebrew JAMMA conversion harness I built -
you have to fudge and reseat with the edge connector a few times before it comes on 100%. I thought mine
was dead at first before retrying it a few times, and then it came in beautifully.
