Suzo Inductive Joysticks, the full story...
Grasshopper:
Is it possible to swap the restrictor plate, with the plate that comes with the Suzo 500s?

I just got one today from TNT Amusements. I didn't get to play with it much, but it looks incredibly easy to remove the PCB. After taking off the bottom cover, I think that the only thing holding in the PCB is the friction of the three posts going through it.

Yeah ? Try it ! ;D
To grashopper: NO WAY. sorry...
the restrictors are on the end of the shaft on the 500's. That's where the electronic unit is on the inductives... The shaft ends in the part where the magnet is, that's it.
I tried it with the pot half way and this seemed to work very well for both 4 and 8 way play. I tried completely 4 way, and I had problems hitting the 4 directions at all !!!! Amazing....this is a bit weird. It was VERY unsensetive, not workable IMHO. So a switch might not do the trick....In complete 8 way it worked fine on 1942 but have to test some more.

What is the value for the pot?
Is 8 way fully "on or off"? ie. One setting of the pot is a short, the other is full resistance. Which is 8 way?
My set should be coming in a few days, so if you don't have this info handy, don't worry about it.
JoyMonkey:
The PCB pops right out; that's why the three posts are angled.

Great pics. Can't wait to get mine and start hacking.
