Southtown has restocked SANWA buttons and sticks

Phew! A few nasty months has gone by on the availability of Sanwa hardware for us, we've been dry on quite a few products for a while. However, last night, the Sanwa fairy visited us (although she raised her prices) and we have 24mm and 30mm buttons (in push-in and screw-back) and we managed to get about a dozen joysticks with 9 different color balltops. All is in stock and ready to ship.

Some color combinations are in very low supply!

That's great news Dan. I'm placing an order now...

Radical.

Noob question but what would work better on a dedicated 6-slot cp. 24mm or 30mm push-in or screw-back buttons? I usually put a plexi cover over my cp overlay but I'm willing to skip it to try some sanwa's, any idea's?

I have a set up with all happ buttons/sticks so I thought with my next cab project I would try some sanwa equipment.

Well 30mm, 24mm are the small ones normally used for start buttons etc. As for snap vs screw, depends on your cp thickness. If you have a metal or very thin wooden panel, snap-ins are fine, otherwise you'll want screw-ins.
