Need Tron Arcade Joystick part - upper restrictor
« on: March 01, 2016, 01:53:56 pm »
Hello good people,

I am looking to locate/buy the upper restrictor (ie. the one with the sort of 'diamond' shaped cutout)
for a tron arcade joystick.
   -OR-
maybe borrow or trade for one.

My plans are to mold and cast new restrictors myself....or get someone else to do it
(luckily i know some professional model builders............) plus i was in contact
(although its been a while) with a guy who did it before('Encryptor') but he doesn't
apparently do that anymore.

I currently have what can best be described as a "franken tron" joystick that i bought on the internet.
It is mostly a discs of tron arcade joystick with the handle other parts of a tron joystick.
Unfortunately it has the discs of tron restrictor.

Please send email if possible.

Regards,

    TLS

I've been scouring the interwebs myself for a couple years looking for the elusive Tron restrictor plate.
No way I'm paying a couple hundred for a full trigger stick on Ebay just for the plate!
No matter how cool it would be to have an original stick, just seems silly on a Mame setup for 1 game, even if it is my favorite!

Anyhoo, I'll keep looking and if I find one I'll let you know.
Perhaps even send it off to you for molding and have you ship it back.
But if you do ever sort one out, count me in for a plate!
Or a couple. For backup or just to say after years of searching I now have a bag of 'em, hahaha!

Just buy the one from Encryptor here:  http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,71229.msg731124.html#msg731124

If you have a Happ Triggerstick you can mod it like I did from this great tutorial that Bender wrote up:

I found someone who may make some with a 3-D printer!
He replied to my comment on the blog page. May actually pan out...
Fingers crossed.
