What stick is this?
« on: September 14, 2006, 10:57:14 pm »
Can someone identify this stick for me? I got 4 of them in a box of parts. It doesn't hit diagonals so all I can tell is it's a 4-way. The only marking on it is a sticker that says:

Coin Control, Inc.
Elk Grove, IL

By the looks of them I'd say Omni-stiks. Available from www.groovygamegear.com
linky --> http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=197

If you don't want them I'd be happy to take them off your hands, I prefer their shape over bat/ball handle as it's kinda a combo of both.



EDIT: On second glance... not the same, they're leaf switch, omnis are microswitch. Sorry, can't help.

 I think it might be a Q-Bert stick.

That's definitely a stick Gottlieb used. So since it's 4-way, I'd also say it's Q*Bert.

NO MORE!!

Q-bert used a Suzo stick which looked very similar to those but was smaller overall and used microswitches that were red in color. I actually have  a Q-bert stick and a couple of these "C.C." sticks. These sticks are made by Suzo as well. Back in the day, "Suzo" was "Coin Controls" supplier for joysticks. "Coin Controls" merely had their logo stamped on the bottom. These 4-way  C.C./Suzo sticks were used in U.S. built "Karate Champ"  machines which used dual 4-ways.

Dang, beat me.  Confirmed, those same sticks are on the Karate Champ in my garage.

Cool. Thanks for the replys. Spidermonkey saying Karate Champ gave me a flashback and I could almost see that stick on that machine from memory....good call!

I'll post these in BST this weekend along with some Wicos I'm looking to trade/sell.

Thanks

OH yeah...Kremmitt, I'm about four hours from Redding. What do you have? Anything cocktail cab related?


EDIT: Oh cool, nobody's called me on being an idiot yet. Okay I see your giant link to your for sale items now Kremmitt....so disregard the above.
