Why can't you put in the plate? Oscar makes or made a plate that would work with those. I think it will be worth it as that joystick is the best for old school 4-way games IMO. Good luck. J_K_M_A_N |

Sheildwolf I think you are getting confused the mounting plate goes on top of the wooden control panel not underneath. |
| Shieldwolf:
I actually do realize where the plate would go. I can't put in the plate now as I don't have the room Ill try and post a picture so you guys can see my problem. until then you can see this one which is similar to mine. http://www.runriot.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/arcade/gallery/LaminateOptions.htm as you can see in my naive youth I thought all joysticks mounted the same and when bob didn't send me a plate or tell me i needed one i thought i was fine. Also any ideas why the joystick is sticking? |
| Apollo:
Sorry dude it sounded like you thought it went under the panel, my bad ( god I hate that "my bad" expression ). |

You don't need a metal plate, but you do need something on top of the stick. Check out Oscar's diagram on Mounting Happ Galaga/Pac 4-way in Wood Panel If you have some Plexi/Lexan on top you should be fine. If you plan on putting the CP overlay under the plexi/lexan then you'll probably need to put a thin plate over the top though (to cover the indent) I used this way of mounting on my Galaga standalone CP and it works great. I can say you don't need the metal plate for strength anyway. If you want the dustcover under the top panel then you need to make sure there is enoug room for it. In my stick at least, the e-ring on top of the stick lifts up the dustcover from time to time and it would get stuck under the top panel. I just took out the dust cover, but you could also route out a bit of space for the dustcover to lift slightly. I wonder how the metal mounting plate handles this problem. |
