Monroe Joysticks For Sale - all spoken for again.
« on: March 27, 2005, 10:52:37 pm »
GGKoul,

I sent you PM, but you might not have noticed it. I have one of these available again, if you still want it.

If anyone else wants to be runner up, LMN.


UPDATE: GGKoul has made contact! Thanks for the interest!

(edit for poor typing)

I have three Monroe Joysticks that I would like to sell. These are typical to Gyruss, Time Pilot, Rampage, and others. They are renowned for their durability, and their smooth circular motion.

These are used sticks. I disassemble them, polish all the rust off the mating surfaces using consecutively finer grades of sandpaper, then polish with two grades of Wenol to get a nice smooth finish. The round parts are polished while mounted in a drill press, the others are polished with cotton buffs in a drill. After polish, I wax with carnuba, grease the mating metal surfaces, and re-assemble.

Once this operation is complete, these have nice smooth action. They are my personal favorite 8-way!

I would like to get $25 each shipped anywhere in the 48 states. I will ship out of the US for $20 + actual cost.

There is lots of info on this site about these, just search monroe.

Is that what that thing is?  I have one of those and thought it was a heck of an odd-ball joy.  I have a couple of oddities lying around.  Scratch one off the, "what is this thing" list.  ;D

Those are an awesome stick when they are working right.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

Somebody got a sweet deal on those! (and outbid 2 BYOAC'ers)

Nope. These did come off EBAY, but it has been a while ago. I was going to sandbag these for myself, but my Moon Patrol needs some parts, so off they go...

Lilwolf,

Thanks!

It was blatantly stolen from another forum, but it fits my character. My AV is a perfect pictorial representation of my electrical troubleshooting techniques ;)
