Ok, I got the joystick pulled apart up to the rubber dohickey. Shouldn't the red ball top just slide out after that or is there some other fastener I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Jarrett |
| Doughbroz:
If it's an old stick, the "rubber doohickey", which should have a metal core, is probably rusted tight to the shaft. |
| korendog:
yeah, I think it is an old stick because the "rubber dohickey" does have a metal core. I thought rust might be the culprit. I'll try the oil and let it soak in like "Robotussin" and see if that frees it. |
| Pipercub:
You gotta work the tussin in. I used penetrating oil and it still wouldn't budge. I cut the metal core open with a dremel disk. |

Do yourself a favor and get one of these. http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=JOYRBSUPER I did and it works great ! It is the kind they use on the new MS. PAC - MAN / GALAGA reunion cabinets. I plan on installing one in my GALAGA once i get it restored. Oh yeah i still need to get those paint codes for you! |
