Hey not sure if you have seen these but I think this might work for you. Paradise arcade made them they fit my JLFs.

we know, chempop, the resident shmup/joystick fitting expert has been posting about them:

yep, that's the one! I have one and while I'll probably never use it, it's nice to have. I DO have the opposite as well (jamma to JVS) and have used it. they work great

Wow. That plate is really kickass. I ordered two just to have them handy. In the meantime my LS-56 showed up and I'm really digging it. Thanks for all the info!

I can now say I'm part of the club. I was part of the group buy back in October, but the chassis on the Blast I got was shot. After lots of tinkering and eventually sending it out to be serviced, my cab is now up and running:
Just happy to actually be able to play on it finally.
I've still got an audio issue to work out though. Aside from how the foam on both speakers are rotted to hell, the left audio channel is considerably louder than the right. This is the case for the jamma audio; I don't have a stereo connectors on my loom to test. I tried swapping the left and right connectors as a test, and in that case the right speakers was louder than the left. This rules out the idea of one speaker being shot. What do you guys think?

I picked up a Sega Blast City over the weekend. It originally was a Sega Bass Fishing.
I finally got the rear service door open and....
GOOOOOOOOOPED!
Thankfully it still works ok. I'll be cleaning this goop up.
Here's the body as well...

Possibly one side of the AMP is dying.

yep. most likely. there are 2 amps in the PSU. one for mono one for stereo. the stereo one is basically a model 3 amp.

If he's frisky he could replace the stage I'm sure. That's if they still make it of course.

Anyone know where I could source a Stereo RCA connector cable for Blast?

You mean you need a 001 Loom?

I actually recently got a 001 loom, but I didn't take a good enough look at it. I'll check when I get home.
EDIT: Looks like I may have found what I was looking from FrancoB...
EDIT: May just DIY with old Model 3 loom...

negatory, I'm just looking at all the options. I'm in the process of restoring a Blast City, previously a "Bass City".

I've got a couple cracks underneath the control panel, one on the left and the right. They are thin but long. Am I right in that the body is made of fiberglass? Has anyone used fiberglass friendly epoxy filler? I was thinking of drilling a couple small holes along the crack to disrupt its path and then fill them up.
Thoughts?

Lachlan,
I came across this video a couple weeks ago. I need to fill in a couple screw holes on my Blast City and found this helpful.
Hope this helps. Yes, epoxy seems to be the way to go.

I blame people sitting on the CP, but that's just me.

Thanks! Looks like the idea is to widen the hole/crack so you can actually fill it. What I really want to know is how bad could it get.
Yeah I know most blasts will have this, its not the strongest design but hey the funny part is I wouldn't have gotten it into my house if the CP didn't come off
