Adding a fire button to top of Happ Super Joy
Justin:
I remember seeing a page detailing how to hack a Happ super joystick, to add a top fire button. There's a good chance I got this page off a link from the old message boards, circa end year 2000.
Does anyone have this link?

Be wary of the instructions if you plan to do this hack.. I would think that the Ultimates have the same size shaft as the Supers, but have yet to find anything (yes, I've tried several sizes of nut drivers, too) that fits perfectly.. always a little jiggly or won't fit at all..
Maybe I should get another Gorf joystick.. those things are great and I can probably rig it up to light up the insert when you pull the trigger :o.. probably a bit bulky for dual sticks, though..

No, the Supers do not have the same size shaft as the Ultimates. The Ultimate has a 5/16" diameter shaft, and the Super has a 10mm diameter. You can easily find nutdrivers with a 5/16" diameter shaft, but if you use a Super base, you will have to find something else to use as a shaft.
kspiff - I imagine you were using a 3/8" (9.5mm) diameter shaft, so it would be a bit too small as a replacement for the original 10mm.

Nope, this wasn't it. :(
I'm talking about instructions on adding a button at the top of a HAPP Super. It involved drilling through the joystick handle and through the shaft.
Anyone?
