Yes I think I will get that USB plug for my current yoke from tog for when my SW finally bombs forever.

If you have a real Star Wars it will not be the yoke that is the problem when it dies. 100% guaranteed.

I'm curious about that statement. Are you just saying that the game PCBs will go first?
BTW. I have a Ram Controls yoke kit and was just wondering if all the parts in the kit were really necessary. Outside of the gears, is the kit representative of failure points in the original yoke?
Thanks.

The monitor would be the most likely point of failure. And they are like Rocking Horse Poo to get. As for the parts, I would say no. But if you are going to strip down the yoke you may as well do a proper rebuild on it rather then just swapping those bits that are obviously worn.

Well, I'm of the mantra of not fixing what isn't broken, because shotgunning when you don't have to tends to result in throwing away parts that are still good.

The monitor, or the game PCB set, or the AR board. Anything. Hell, even the cabinet itself is more likely to go bad than the Star Wars yoke. I have pulled good yokes off of swiss cheese Star Wars cabinets where the only thing that still works is the yoke.
D_Harris:
Ok. Question.
I put one of my yoke kits up for sale and someone asked about the spacer bearing. Were all of the kits supposed to come with spacer bearings?
This is not in my kits and I was just wondering if was I shorted all those years ago. (I know there were at least 4 or 5 kits that varied as far as what they consisted of).
Thanks.
