Building a Star wars yoke from scratch
menace:
yep they're slanted--although wider than the original (i am, after all, no longer 12 years old ;D)
as far as rotation goes i'm going to have 60+ degrees in each direction (I had brax do some angle guesstimation for me) and with a 2:1 gear ratio that roughly equals 240-260 degrees or close to 3/4 of a turn--piece of cake--now to just finish building it....

So that's about 120+ degrees of turn on the x-axis. How about the y-axis (the grips)? Is it the same there as well?
menace:
yep going to be the same
could someone tell me if both the x and y return to center? I'm pretty sure they do but just wanted to double check--its so close to being done now--woohoo.... ;D
Stormy151:
I've seen people mention refurbishing original yokes, is there a place the springs can be purchased?
If not, I'll figure out another way to get them to return to center, I'm basically copying Atari's design.

Both X & Y return to center.
