Ms. Pacman / Galaga Reunion 4-way stick problem
(1/3) > >>
shardian:
I have a new Ms. Pacman/Galagareunion stick that has a problem. When I move straight from left to right, or from up to down, The stick "pops" loudly. The motion is VERY clunky and is not going away with time. I have taken out the stick, and looked it over. It appears there is a grommet (I guess that is what it's called) inside the sealed case that is causing the problem. Is there anything that I can do to fix this?
Kremmit:
No grommets in there.

A Reunion (or Super) will clunk if the pivot cone is installed wrong- Is your cone installed on the handle above the joystick base, with the wide end facing down?
shardian:
Yes, I believe I remember looking up into the joystick and moving that part around. It did appear that the lip part of it was facing down. If I pressed up on it and then moved it around, the clunking went away. How do I remove that part to turn it around?
Kremmit:
Remove the e-clip, pull out the handle, flip the pivot cone, replace the handle, replace the actuator, replace the e-clip.
RickDIII:
Yep, its the pivot cone.  You've got it in upside down.  I only know because I did the same thing at one point. 

Good luck!
