| TheBourneID:
Just wanted to get some input from the people who've installed LS30 (original SNK) rotary joysticks. I believe I have the parts to make one complete stick, but need some diagrams, etc to be sure. Also, is that little L-S 30 wrench absolutely needed, or does someone have a better way to disassemble the sticks? Any info will be helpful, as I would like to have a better understanding before starting this little project (BTW, just won an Ebay auction for the LS30 encoder, so I'll be starting on it soon 8)). |

The wrench is it for normal use (I have 2 and have NEVER taken them farther apart then that). The wrench takes the handles off only. You will also want to router to be able to mount them. DO NOT MOUNT THEM WITHOUT THE THINEST WOOD OR METAL. If you do... You will find that you cant take them apart... You need enought space under them to put the wrench back in... (Can't remember who had to cut their handle to get it off... sucked) |

Thanks for the info on the wrench--I kind of thought that's all it's for anyway. Unfortunately, I'll have to take the two sticks apart in order to make one (one is missing the 13-pin connector, the other is missing something the other has. Anyone else have some information concerning the assembly? |

Here's the top removal instructions for those without a wrench: http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=13028 I've got an LS-30 with a bent shaft, are you going to have an extra shaft when you're done? -Kremmit |
| TheBourneID:
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, one of the two shafts that I have is also bent, which happens to be the stick that is mostly complete. OK, that gets me started--how about after I remove the knob? I need to know for sure if I have all of the parts that composed the stick. Does anyone have a diagram or exploded view pic, specifying the individual parts? Maybe I'm just thinking too much... |
