Mounting: Replacement Joystick for MS Pac-Man/ GALAGA

Pages: (1/2) > >>

rbarr110:

I just got me a dedicated 4-way, but have mounting questions.

http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/5060841125r.htm

If I am going up through 3/4" of CP material only the ball and maybe 1/4" of shaft is above the top of the CP.  This seems too litlle.  Should I recess the CP for the joystick?

Anyone have pictures they can share to show how they mounted theirs?

Thanks

Yeah, these are really made for metal CPs.  There are longer-joystick-shafts available.   A guy named tornadoterry sells them.   He's an ebayer from Tejas.  I can never remember his exact ebay name, but I'll see if i can find it for you.

Zeosstud:

That particular joystick specifically states its for metal control panels only but your on the right track for your own use.  Either route out a place for the mounting plate OR get a replacement joystick.  I know I have seen/read that they are available.  I hear its a great joystick, you will like it once your happy with how it mounts.

I have the ms pacman/galaga 4 way.  I mounted it by recessing the cp from the top.  I cut a hold to fit the base and routed the top.  After you lock it down then I put the switches back on.  Works great.
