You will love playing those games with a true 4-way! But you have to remove Q-Bert from your list. Yes, it uses a true 4-way, but it must be mounted at a 45-degree angle. So unless you mount two 4-ways (one at an angle specifically for Q-Bert), you won't be playing any Q-Bert :)

Oh well... you can't win them all. :)

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi armi0024,

Here are those picts you asked me to post.

There's the bottom:


Here's the top:


Hopefully it's pretty plug and play.

Thanks again for all of the help!

You should have no problem swapping sticks. just make note of which wire goes to which switch and swap 'em right out.
That one switch in the middle is for the top fire button. that one you won't be using, just pull the connectors off and tape them up so they can't trip.
armi0024:
mgb is right on, the configuration on the JLW's is exactly the same so just take a piece of tape and mark each pair of wires going to each micro, pull them all off, pull the joystick and just reverse the process with the JLW.

Hit me at sales@paradisearcadeshop.com if you have a question.  Looks like it passed through Cincinatti tonight...

It came. I still haven't installed. Will it be evident which side faces the monitor? In other words, will I know which end is up when the panel is on it's side?

I guess I can just flip it around if I get it wrong. Still at work but dying to install it.
