today I received the balltop for my Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Stick.
Here you can see a milky white balltop 37,5mm diameter with 6mm insert for use in arcadesticks.
You will find a RGB-Led inside for make all colours you wish
On the left site you will see a standard red balltop.
In the middle the milky one, right the milky one with LED on:

today I done a LED mod for a NES.
Its easy, the most difficulty is to open and remove all screws.
You must remove the mainboard to get the Power LED PCB.
Remove the original 5mm LED and replace with a color you like.
Look here:
I used a 5mm LED for RGB-Balltop of Sanwa Stick.
Advantage: more powerfull as the PLCC4 or SMD 605 Led
balltop, led, shaft
you have to remove the ring of the led
after removing the ring
difference with ring and without
cutted legs
wires black is 5V, red, green and blue needs GND to lite
including shrinking
moved into shaft
frosting the led for diffusing the light

blue
all leds on -> white
Hi there,
for having fun with the great Sanwa Sticks I want to use a transparent Balltop and a Stick with a hole.
Thanks to luigi for the necessary hardware.
If you want to make it lid RGB you are in need of some SMD Led´s. First I tried SMD 605 (small Leds) but now I will try the bigger one called PLCC-2 DMX RGB-Leds.
pinout plcc2-rgb
IF=20mA, Red=2,0V; green=3,5V; blue=3,6V
-> Rred=150Ohm; Rgreen=125Ohm; Rblue=120Ohm @ 5V
You need 4 wires and shrinking tube.
plcc2-dmx
(in real)
heatshrink tube
(shrinking tube 2 sizes)
