Can anyone ID this joystick for me?
Daviea:
These are not self centering. However, given some time, I could upgrade them to be self centering. All I would need to do is remake the gimbals with a nub to attach a lever/spring assembly.

I remember from my youth an arcade game that used a non-centering joystick that looks like that, but I doubt was actually that small. Hard to remember since I was little myself and size tends to get skewed as you get older. I'm not sure but I think it had a tiny plastic knob on top, so I suppose if you pry it off it might look like your replica.
I have no idea what the name of it was, it looked a lot like Star Raiders for the Atari. The main reason I bought SR years later 'cause I thought it was the same game.

Anyone have a Vectrex controller they want to crack open? That's what comes to my mind when I see those...
Organic Jerk:
Maybe a company search will help determine what the joysticks were for.... what's the defunct company's name?
Good work there...

Ok, I finally found it. It was Tailgunner that I was thinking of. The joystick looks too large though. :( Oh well, it was a nice try.
At least I found info on another arcade game I've been looking for. :applaud:
