Hi this is my first post here so hi to all

I got my jamma arcade a few months back and i have more or less converted it to a mame machine now its all running but still needs touching up a bit,  Ive got one controller that is ok but the other the spring has snapped and seems to struggle with diagonals the sticks are screwed similar to a button, then the bottom with microswitch`s on  twists on but at the moment i cant see any with the same design they all seem to be bolted through the top can anybody help or is this a obsolete thing now the control panel is metal but may have to be changed because its a 2 player 3 button and i want a few more buttons  but the layout are too close to eachother.

and my second question is there anywhere in  glen lakes Florida to get arcade parts my folks are holiday out there and asked if i wanted anything.

Thanks
DiGi

Welcome, DiGi.

I think that some pictures of your problem stick and panel might help (you can post pictures by using the Additional Options link below the textbox when you are posting). Then folks can see exactly what you are facing (e.g. what kind of stick it is, what your control panel is) and respond accordingly.

It sound like you may have a Happ Universal stick, but I'd need to see to be sure.

thanks for the reply i didn't quite give enough information I'm from England the cab i believe is about late 80`s  when i got it it had no board so i thought id strip it down for a mame/jukebox machine its now fitted with a elo touchscreen but i couldn't get the touch part to work with a serial cable i made  although the inboard diagnostics recognises the touch  ::)

anyhow my joystick looks the similar to the happ maybe a early one ?.



Control Panel is about 15cm by 52 cm there`s enough room to get 6 buttons player one but keeping the same space i think id bang hands with player 2 on the joystick only other thing is to have 2 vertical rows of 3 which i think will just fit as well for player 2 but i dont think i will like it that way  and the 2 metal screws are the lock downs for the control panel but i presume you knew that . ;D


The microswitches Ive changed a few around and the one with the red button is a new one my local electrical shop only had 2 instock but it still seems to struggle with the new button sometimes the spring is under the nut but i presume that was just to pull the handle back down when lifted ?



Cheers

Gimme' some details on the screen. I have a few here and may have the proper cable info to get the touchscreen working.

Sorry, DiGi, I don't know that stick at all ... perhaps some of the European folks (cough ... Level42 ?) might have some info.
