Of course I have some from other buttons but if I find very thin rubber I would prefer this solution.....besides getting two (or one?) original stick. I have emailed a german collector/trader. Recently he bought a container full of original stuff. He will "dig the pile" and see if he has one. I'm planning to put a PC insode the cab that only starts an emulator with Robotron. Getting the PCB set is nearly impossbile. The harness has been completely removed, too :( |

Robotron uses wico 8-ways with the long shafted joystick. Under the cpo should be two metal plates> 4.5" square. The joystick dust cover goes under these. I just purchased a set of the metal plates that were a reproduction run. I can give you the fellas email addy, not sure if he has any left though. They were 16.00 shipped for the set. I'll post a pick of them in a bit :) Post a WTB on rgvac on getting a working boardset. Thats what i did and had 4 emails that same night, anywhere from 150.00 to 225.00 shipped. As for the harness you can do the same or put in an order to Bob Roberts and build it yourself. I did that with my Defender and it wasnt hard at all + it saved me money and everything was brand new :) edit :) here> |

Hi westell. There are no metal plates at all, just wood under the panel. The stick in the picture is mounted from under the panel and is fixed with four screws. The black cylinder reaches thruogh the wood and the panel. As far as I know the european version is different from the US version. Concerning the board set...what is rgvac ??? :lame: edit: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting ?? |

Yes rgvac> rec.games.video.arcade.collecting :) Dave has a good site on Williams. Also has a restore page on a UK robotron if you havent seen it yet. Is this what you have? http://www.robotron-2084.co.uk/robotron.html |

Thanks for the hint :) I visited Dave's site some time ago and I think it's that sort of Robotron I have (can't look at it now, it's blocked here at work). Here's mine: http://www.thludwig.de/robotron_restaurierung.htm (somebody please kick ---my bottom--- that I continue translating the site into english ::) ) |
