| Tron restrictor on Xenophobe Joy |

| coasternuts:
Is it possible to replace the bottom restrictor on a Xenophobe joy with a Tron one? Would it be worth it without the diamond shaped restrictor on top? Here is a link to a picture of the restrictor: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=d583b6e9bebfb12bc92ce07661dd31de&topic=31088.msg264294#msg264294 Here is a picture of the restrictor on the Xenophobe. The reason I am asking is that I might be able to get a Tron base unit without the handle, but for around $30. Is it worth it? The top part of the Xenophobe has a square opening and the bottom is also square. Though you can't see that in these pictures, I want you to see the entire base to see if there is anything else I need to be wary of. Thanks. |

coasternuts. Did you just buy this joystick on BST forum from a set of 3? I just recieved what looks like the same type of joystick and was wondering the same thing.. |

No, but I did ask him for one. I got mine of eBay. ~$31. I thought he would part with one for the same price so I would have two, one to tinker with. I didn't get it. My other thought was to find some galvanized? rubber at local hardware or automotive store and cut it up to have the diamond restrictor. I haven't mounted the stick yet to try it out without modification, though, I know from previous posts that the light cycle stage will suck with the Xenophobe stick. But I feel I have to try it anyway. I like to set myself up for disappointment. :-\ |

I swear that Oscar needs to offer restrictor plates again. They seem more in demand than ever...If you find a solution, post it here. I'm curious as well. |
| Patent Doc:
Coasternuts Could you take another picture of the bottom restrictor with the actuator off. I'm betting it's possible to switch out the restrictors, but I can't tell from the pictures you posted. Alternatively, one of these guys with far more experience may no off the top of their head. |
