Where can I find bearings for arcade pedals?
« on: August 16, 2015, 07:29:11 am »
Hi folks,

I am in the process of restoring some old atari arcade pedals, and i need to replace a few of the small bearings that fit around the ends of the axle that the pedal pivots on.

They look like this :



Anyone know where I might find something like this? No idea where to to start the hunt! Or if it's maybe impossible and I have to get something custom made.

Those aren't bearings. Search "nylon bushings".

Better yet, search for "Nyliner".

I bought them here a couple years back while rebuilding the pedal for a Road Blasters.

Thanks guys! I thought htye were bushings too but the manual listed them as bearings for some reason. Now I just need to figure out the size of these things in inches hehe

I just noticed that the link I posted came up empty.
Hopefully this one works.

If not, just search for Nyliner on Bay Area amusements.

What Atari machine is it?
If I remember correctly, my roadblasters used 3/8" & 1/2"

I seem to remember my roadblasters manual listed the size
Otherwise just measure the holes.

That table is pretty handy Neph, thanks.

mgb, These are equivalent pedals to the super sprint pedals, but they are configured with a microswitch instead of a pot so I am not sure _exactly_ which atari machine they are from.  I think you are right though, either 3/8 or 1/2 inch. I ordered a couple of samples from the link you suggested so I'll see which ones fit  :cheers:
