Atari Stun Runner restoration

<< < (2/3) > >>

BC_Jeffro:
i was thinking because i have the thumb buttons on my yolk controller (from SW) i could make the thumbs start buttons so you could use bombs without letting go of the controller

PL1:
Great idea to do shockwave without reaching down to the start button.

Twistywrist has the connectors and pins to fab an extension --highly recommended if you don't want to hack into the original yoke harness.

Does the mechanical difference between the SW and STUN Runner yokes cause a problem for the game/calibration?

(There's a small removable plate that stops the STUN Runner Y-axis from going below horizontal)

BC_Jeffro:
the wiring is kinda chopped already

PL1:
I see it has a Y-Axis crossplate so it either started as a SW yoke and someone added the crossplate and swapped the cover or it started as a STUN Runner yoke and was repaired using SW parts.

Bare splices inside the yoke body from the harness to the wires that lead to the grips?   :dizzy:

That is some ugly wiring in there.

I figured if the yoke's wiring was still in good shape that tapping in at the 12-pin would be the way to go, but now that's looking somewhat like polishing a turd. (It has been done by the Mythbusters, but. . .)

I think I need to go soak in one of Nep's connector pron posts to get those wiring images out of my head.   :puke

BC_Jeffro:
cant say about how it works i don't have a stun runner PCB at the moment,
ya i got all  my machines from the same guy and his electrical skills were surprisingly limited for owning and arcade company for 20+ years

the things iv seen in these machines i'm surprised they did not burst into flames  :timebomb:
