Auto Switching 4-8 way gates for joysticks - Glens Retro Show
Zeosstud:
I think it is kind of interesting that the idea was originally a fix for the Tron stick, but is being released first for the Sanwa sticks.. I have a need for both, so I am super happy this is going to be hitting the market in any form, will simplify my control panel layouts a lot.. As someone who will not make a control panel for a arcade cab with a horizontal screen that can not play Robotron, this solves so much. Yes I have a dedicated Robotron, with sticks I like a lot with a JROK, but I have 2 other cabs where this solution would have saved me some design issues and money.. I like a Sanwa joystick with a 2.5 or 3 pound spring. Hope you guys sell a bunch of these and they hold up for a long time.

I can asure you that is not the case. I already developed and distributed the Sanwa version when Glen Planamento approached me and asked to develop also a Tron compatible version. I have YouTube videos for the Sanwa version dated long before I or Glen released the first videos for the Tron version.

Hey even better.. I will be buying a number of all of them.. :-)

What springs do you use in your joysticks? I have read the stock springs/throw in the Sanwa sticks aren't that great with classic arcade games. Is there an adapter plate on the market for use in a Midway Ms Pac control panel?
I am definitely down on buying some of these to try on my upcoming projects - great work.

The joystick is not part of the product. It is a drop in replacement for Sanwa compatible joystick restrictors. You can combine it with any joystick of your choice, as long as the restrictor mount at the bottom is Sanwa compatible.
