| BYO Ball top - Lighted Translucent Red Top Fire w/ pics! |
| << < (3/5) > >> |

the keychain part of the ball has a small plunger which i took out and i opened up the hollow area, which just barely fit the 10mm shaft. the ball is shown with the wiring and the button, which also just barely fits. |

alright, now here is a pic of it assembled, in the base, and lighted. this is with the flash on the camera. thanks RayB for touching it up! |
| Bgnome:
without flash |

i apologize for the fuzzyness of the pics, my camera is not good with close photos. i still need to glue things together and decide on whether i should try to use the e-clip or maybe some sort of pin as a replacement, (there are holes already punched in the sides of the tubing). i also need to settle on a full shaft length. i could keep if fairly long so i wouldnt have to route out the bottom of my mdf, but then that increases the throw, has a greater chance of breaking (thickness is only 1mm which worries me a bit), and increases the vertical profile (where i also need to put my keyboard and keep it within a 4.5" space). all in all though i am very happy with the way it turned out. i just need to make 3 more.. any comments and suggestions are welcome. i have not yet built my first cab yet so appreciate any input. |

Don't know how the feel and durability will be (that plastic ball does look kind of thin and brittle), but I have to say, I do like the look. I think those joysticks would look really sweet on a panel with Atari LED volcano buttons. |
