Featured Stick: MuffMan's VAS22

In November of 2002, to celebrate his nephews birthday, Vice President Miyamoto Tanaka of the Umbrella Corporation commissioned an arcade stick to be built by two custom builders, one Voltech and a Kuyo Joe. That same year, Vice President Tanaka is believed to have been killed in a freak lab accident, and the two builders are still to this day missing. It is rumored that Miyamoto Tanaka hid access codes to the Red Queens Main Frame System. No pictures of the custom build exist and many doubt its existence. Until now...

Voltech Arcade Sticks and accessories - News 

   I'm taking my previous idea to make the welded on OEM style stick mount bracket to the next level and turning it into a bolt on solution. This would mean a couple of things.
1. I could make different mounting plates for different sticks and heights including (Sanwa, Seimitsu, Happ etc)

2. While they wont be available for my first run, the mounting holes will be pre drilled so you won't need it to use my custom plates but you can upgrade to it in the future once they become available.

3. You will be able to remove your stick without having to first remove all the buttons and art from your custom plates =D Tell me that's not Awesome!!!!



This might be old news and I might be the only one that cares but I just fitted the LS-32-02 PCB into my JLW and it works like a dream!!!! =D

 All I need now is a JLW short shaft for mounting it to a metal panel and I'll be able to install it into any TE or V.S. sticks. Anybody know if Sanwa already makes such a thing or if I need to make one myself?

Custom Mounting plates - Coming Soon!

I'm going to start making custom mounting plates and plexi's for some of the retail Arcade sticks on the market, ie the Madcatz TE and V.S. as well as other custom panels and cabinets.

I'm currently  working on getting the measurements I need so if you guys have any panels you want to see made I am excepting donations or loaners to help speed things along.

Voltech Arcade Sticks Interview at Evo 2011

Here's a quick interview I did at Evo 2011 with Eric Zhang,

Some of the best parts of Evo are the great variety of thigns to do/see/talk about while you’re there. While waiting around for the SF2 high-rollers tournament to start, I had a chance to talk with veteran arcade-stick maker Voltech from voltecharcadesticks.com. Being an amateur stick modder myself, I shifted our conversation from good footsie-options with Super Turbo Chun Li to arcade-stick making. I also wanted to have a quick talk with him about the Sticks For Joy foundation here
