Need some red balltop joysticks ASAP
« on: March 16, 2004, 04:15:04 pm »
I need several red balltop (pacman style) joysticks, new, for a project that I need done by the weekend. They have to be 1/2" wood mountable. Anyone know where I can order and have them within a couple days? Happs only sells metal mount red balltops, Ultimarc is overseas and it looks like therealbobroberts only carries used equipment. Any ideas? Thanks!

You could try to find a local distributor in your area, or maybe an operator who might sell you some.  Of course, you'll probably pay more than buying online, but if you need them that quick, that would probably be your best option.

Almost everything that Bob Roberts sells is brand new... I'm not sure why everyone keeps thinking he only sells used stuff??  I think that just about anything on his site that doesn't explicitly say it is used is actually new.  I have asked him about several parts and they were always brand new, even though I expected them to be used (for some reason).  Is it his low prices?

Bob will also cross-ship if you've ordered from him a time or two before.  For me that means I receive the order the very next day, or at the latest, the day after that.

Bishmasterb,

I have a pair or two I scored off of ebay a month or so back that I wont be using.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3270601393&category=13718&rd=1

If you want a pair let me know. I am also in California, so next day ups, etc wouldnt be out of the question. Or if you ever travel near San Jose.

PM me if interested.

Oooh just remembered....   Dream Arcades

http://www.dreamarcades.com

Is located in FOLSOM and they do accept walk in's at least they offered to me at one time.

They have HAPP 4way balltops on sale for $10 a pop and usually have an ebay auction or two going at any time for them.

I didn't think Happ had any balltops except the Galaga/Ms. Pac?
