What the deal! ???
I'm building my third cab and its going to be a dedicated stargate cab. Why? because its the only game I cant master, this drives me insane!

Whats the deal with getting a proper joystick? I cant find a full unit, just parts for sale. I'm OK with this but they are wicked expensive.  :dunno

Yes, I did a forum search, goggle search, and eBay search, and came up short. :angry:

Are they rare because I'm the only guy on the planet that's intrigued by the challenge and difficulty of this game? Am I the only guy on the planet that, as a kid, watched with a crowed in amazement, some guy in a smokey bowling ally just kick ass at this game like a ninja? I always thought that someday, when I get enough quarters, I too will be a stargate ninja. Well the eighties are gone, but now I got all the quarters I need, what the hell! :soapbox:

I almost want to tell you "Do a search noob!", but that doesn't fit for you (nice to see you -- haven't seen you post in a while!).

I have about a dozen of them I collected over the years and came up with an idea on how to correct the slop that develops in them over time using special inserts I designed.

But here is a cool looking repro I know nothing about:
