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. --- End quote --- I like both a 2.5lb and 3.0lb spring as a replacement for what comes as default, sadly right this moment I can not remember which ones I am using.. :-( Plan on doing some work with these this weekend, will see how it all turns out. I have a mister pedestal that I want to redo the control panel on to make it much more 2 player friendly. Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk |

Got this all hooked up and working.. Really cool.. Now I need to drill out a new control panel which will have to wait as the wife is painting stuff and would kill me if I created any dust right now. But it is useable as it sits, just ugly.. You can see I used to have the far left and far right joysticks up above the modified Stargate button layout, this allowed me to play Robotron and allowed me to use the right Robotron joystick and button for 2 player games, specifically Joust, Mario Bros, Wizard of Wor and Tetris. Thing is it was not very comfortable for 2 players because the player on the left stood pretty close to the middle, now however, I can lower the far left and right joysticks and spread them out, now 2 people should be much more comfortable using this setup and with the push of a button, I can still play Robotron. So, clearly Sanwa joysticks with the original square gate are not Gods gift to Robotron, that is why I have a dedicated Robotron cabinet, with proper leaf switches, but in a pinch, this will get the job done. |
