Converting Ball top stick.

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Fat_Trucker:


Does anyone know if any of the various ball top sticks available have a hollow shaft?.

I was playing with the idea of cannibalising the little fire buttons from a couple of old Atari 2600 joysticks and drilling recesses to mount them in the top of a ball top joystick, and dropping a suitable 'prodder' down the shaft to a microswitch.

Alternatively does anyone know of anywhere that manufactures button topped sticks for sale?.



RayB:

Read this thread in its entirety. I teach how to do it yourself. You just need to acquire a Wico Command Control joystick, and a Wico leafswitch arcade joystick base (black style).

Fat_Trucker:

Thanks Ray. That link seems to point me straight back to the main page though.

Witchboard:

Bah, yet another person I'll have to fight on eBay to get a top fire wico.  :P

RayB:

I fixed the link.
