The throw is longer, because the shaft is longer, there are custom mods to decrease throw... |

I'm bringing this back up since it's my own thread, I'm STILL having trouble getting how this will work for the joystick. Buttons, no problem, joystick=can't get it through my thick skull. I have my 3/4" MDF and need to ideally undermount the joystick so the top of the CP is smooth with no bolts. If I route out 1/2" from the bottom, what is holding the joystick to the MDF? Does someone have a real picture of this application that I could see? |

My recommendation. Route out .5" from the underside, position the stick under there and mark where the holes need to be, then drill out and tap insert nuts into the MDF. Drill the center hole for the stick Then install the stick and use machine screws from the underside into the insert nuts to hold the stick in place. |

I mounted from the underside and used bog filler for a flush finish on Yipee Ki Yay. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=120827.0 Skip to the "control panel" and "control panel assembly" sections. As i describe alongside the pictures, the only thing I might reconsider is jigsawing to allow for the baseplate only, and routing out underneath to make room for the micro switch bundle and harness plug. Then I mite not have had to fill in gaps with galvanized sheet. Don't use expanding foam it doesn't work. |

Here are the inserts I used: http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=70&products_id=317 NOTE: Scroll down on the linked page for installation instructions. These inserts are .4" deep, so routing out 1/2" won't work with these. Routing not necessary for long shaft Zippyys. Even the short shaft Zippyy will reach -- with 1/10" clearance from the bottom of the ball to the washer resting on the MDF. :lol Scott |
