is there any way that you could replace the existing sensors with arcade ones?

just courious

hmm i might not be right but i dont think its possible to replace arcade sensors with tx ones because they have different wiring. i could be wrong.

i mean even to rewire it. like if a TX died on you and you want to re-make it

if you wanted to completely rewire it, why not build your own to begin with?

and, i think you can build one with arcade sensors, but no one ever does just because it costs so much to buy the sensors

anyway, if you've got the money, go for it

I gutted my TX's down to bare sheet metal and wood...

Using sheet metal contacts for both sides of the contact is your first step to making this pad work. The arrows do NOT crack when this is done.

You will want to rewire it as well. THere are parts of the internal wiring harness that break easily. Get CAT 5. I'll show ya what the pads are made of and how exactly to do it all if you want me to. AIM me

thats not what im saying. i dont want metal contacts, i would like to use arcade sensors

That was my way of saying no basically.

The wood baseboard of the TX doesnt allow for more than a few layers of sheet metal and foarm between the arrow and wood. If you cut through that, theres not too much underneath it. You would have to add 2x4 blocks or something clever. Plus, one that wood base gets cut into it will be 54739836058764786 times weaker. I'd sheet metal this one and build a custom arcade pad. It will beaeasier and moe possible.
