How far apart were joysticks
« on: November 15, 2004, 09:36:28 am »
I love games like crazy climber and black widow, it has been so long since I've seen these around that I can't remember how far apart the joysticks were. Granted, my control panel is custom and I can put the joysticks anywhere I want too, but I would like to know how the originals were set up.

I've checked out a bunch of those sites but none of them have dimensions for the joysticks. I don't have access to the actual cabinet anymore so I can't get the measurements myself.

most of this 19" cabinet have a 24" Width, maybe you can some ideas by looking at the pic if no one have access to the original cabs.

Most two stick games were approx. 10" give or take.
I've got my modular panels set up so that the sticks are 9" apart, and it's very comfortable.
