Star Wars Yoke Parts
« on: September 29, 2002, 12:38:35 am »
Ok, I'm sure I'm beating a dead horse here, but I can't find the treads that talked about this.  I have received by Star Wars yoke I won on ebay, but am disappointed with the condition it arrived in.  I suppose it's my fault...they didn't have great pictures in the auction.  Anyway, all the pots are there and work along with the springs.  Two of the plastic gears are broken and I'm missing the plastic thumb buttons.  That actual switches are there, but the actuators are missing.  I have searched on the net and can't seem to find replacements for them.  I've also been watching ebay for those "reburb" kits, but it hasn't been relisted.  Does anyone know where to get the gears and thumb actuators?

Thanks.  Brian

You could try carving a small piece of wood to replace the buttons, if the switches are there... the refurb kits don't have the button pieces, as far as I know.

If enough of the gears are left, you could try going to a hobby shop and seeing if there is a match there.  I've read on threads before that all of the yoke parts in the refurb kits are readily available, they just take a bit of hunting....

You could try Small Parts, Inc. at http://www.smallparts.com/ ... the appropriate catalog page appears to be http://www.engineeringfindings.com/cat22/cat22pg262.pdf .

Yeah, I remember reading that almost all the parts are available, but my search capability must be poor.  I still haven't found anything I was looking for.  Anyway, thanks for the tip.  I don't mean to be spoon feed information, but I can't tell which gears I need.   ???  I can count the teeth on the gears, so I can narrow it down that way, but I don't understand the pitch, etc.  Do you happen to know which gears these Atari yoke?

Thanks.  Brian
