Mag-Stik question

Pages: (1/3) > >>

bkrownd:

  I got a Mag-Stik from Ultimarc, which doesn't come with any documentation.  I'm trying to figure out how to remove the knob so I can mount the Mag-Stick through the hole in my control panel, but the knob doesn't seem to screw off the end of the shaft.  The knob is too large to pass through the hole in my panel, and I also want the dust washer on the top side of the panel anyway.  If the knob can't be removed from the shaft does the whole joystick shaft have to be removed, using the nut at the very bottom?  I have e-mailed Ultimarc, but while I wait I thought I'd ask here too. 

  edit: sorry, it's a Mag-Stik PLUS

Nephasth:

Pull the C-clip off the bottom of the shaft.

Thanks for the reply.  I actually don't see a c-clip anywhere - do I have to remove something to access it, such as the microswitches or the main mounting flange?  I'm worried I'll remove the wrong thing and screw the joystick up or break some plastic bit.

  I guess I need to specify that it's a Mag-Stik Plus



drventure:

The C Clip should be at the end of the shaft of the stick.

Use a small screwdriver to pop it off (and be careful, they'll fly off and it's easy to lose!)

The little plastic pieces on the shaft should the slide off, and the centering spring etc. Shaft should come right out.
