Identify the motorized 4-way/8-way joystick, please
« on: July 16, 2025, 11:11:29 pm »
I need to replace a faulty motor on one of my motorized 4-way/8-way restrictor plate switching joysticks...

...except, I can't even remember where or when I got these or what they're called.

A little help? :)

Thanks!

Thank you!

I'll contact them to see if I can get a replacement motor or two, or if they can point me to their supplier.

look on Amazon, eBay or AliExpress.  Those little gearmotors are cheap and everywhere :)

Thanks, Randy-
Indeed, I found a handful of motors on Amazon. I swapped the motor only (kept the gearbox & linkage in the game--the motor pops out quite easily w/ just an elastic strap). I'm in business! Played me some Make Trax to celebrate.
And now I have 5 or so spare motors--that should last forever.
Thanks,
-Jason
