What condition is it in?



Oh, I never could figure out what your Avatar was.  I thought it was a gold statue of a head kind of like in the opening sequence of Raiders of the Lost Ark. 

Now I see that it is a Robot (moving to the left).

It is in "used but working just fine" condition.  Came out of a Cybersled game, and shows the kind of wear you'd expect on a stick that spent any time in an arcade environment.  The small portion of the shaft that's visible between the grips and the base has some rust, as do the screws that hold the grips on.  The handle shows some wear.  No cracks, or any other such major damage, just needs some clean-up.

As for my avatar, you can join the multitude that thought it was some kind of flaming pirate skull thing in this thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,34703.0.html.  It did look worse before, as the new forum software started re-sizing my old 70x70 jpg to 80x80.  I fixed that, but it's still pretty lousy.  At this point, I've just been leaving it out of sheer bloody-mindedness.

Nope, those are the new style, too.  The old ones have a big spring wrapped around a white plastic piece on the bottom. 

Guess I'd better go take some pictures.

Look forward to the picture ... sounds a lot like a 2-way Atari stick I have BIG spring wrapped around a big white plastic piece ...

This may be the best one of these sticks I have; it may be the worst.  What it is, is the one I found first.
