My new toy :-) with problems :-( (Xybots)
<< < (5/11) > >>
MLew:
I think the joysticks may need some work. I haven't taken them apart yet but I've read that some plastic/rubber piece inside can become really gummy n melt down.  I think this may be my case  People say they've replaced them with pinball rubbers? Anybody have a link to what these are/where to buy? I'm no pinball wizard
mgb:
I'm not positive but I think those sticks are bassically Atari Logo Sticks but with the two extra switches underneath for rotate.
Heres a link to Videogameparts.coms parts for atari logo sticks http://www.videogameparts.com/category.sc?categoryId=147

Here is someone elses xybots restoration here on the forums
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=110819.0

Here is a pinball parts site that I have gotten some other atari bushings from before http://bayareaamusements.com/
MLew:
Thx for the links. I've read through that restore thread already, good info there.

I checked out that pin site, but couldnt find that rubber piece ppl hav used for the joysticks. (there's a lot "goin on" on that site lol.

Plus I'm not really sure exactly what I'm lookin for...anybody Xybots enthusiasts kno wtf I'm talkin bout?
RayB:
Check the Restoration thread. Someone did a Xybots recently.

Also, this thread should probabkly be moved to Misc Arcade where it won't get lost among a bunch of MAME topics.
MLew:
If mods wanna move it, feel free. Misc arcade seems to be where it best fits as its not much a restoration ( its in killer shape!) and ur right, don't wanna get lost in the mameness.

I'll be updating it as I work out all the kinks.
