Oh the ones that are mine there–not the 2nd and 3rd–are old photos; I only have the RAPV now in my small apartment. ^_ ^ Wouldn’t be much point in putting a modern board in them I would say, what with their generally inferior levers/buttons/bases.
My buddy worked at an autobody shop so I took two of those cheap as hell WWE Mad Catz arcade sticks (black is ps3, pearl white is 360) and got them painted in $1000+ car paint. Believe they both have Semitsu buttons and sticks in them. Have barely used them in 12 years, but would hate to part with them considering how beautiful both of them are.
With other crap here are my two Sega Saturn sticks both pulled from Junk Bins of closing shops.
Another stuff picture but the best I have without digging in a box I do not have time to do, along with the above sticks I also got the ASCII Green Monster painted in Subaru Blue along with a Dreamcast and god damn are they pretty.
That’s right 5 arcade sticks in a tiny Japanese apartment with a family for consoles I don’t even have plugged into the single TV right now!
Dang those car paint sticks are gorgeous though! You should bling it out with LEDs and transparent buttons too lol
Oh wait you do have transparent buttons! Then you’re only missing one more step
Sheeeeesh that purple one! And dang, real jealous of that lil fishing rod. My partner and I always talk about getting peripherals like that and light guns but I know that eventually they’ll just sit there and take up space. But, I guess, what do I even need the space for!
