the mario game isnt going anywhere i already told my stepfather not to let anyone touch it or even think about selling it to anyone. As for the joysticks im gonna switch it today and take some pics. that ebay auction caught my eye yesterday and had me thinking haha i will more then likely bid on it and see what happens. |

I'm not sure what causes it but something must wear on them to the point that it can't trip two microswitches at once in the corners (I don't see how the microswitches themselves can be the problem if the north, south, east, and west all work). Anyway, to swap them, just unplug everything (2 wires for each microswitch [8 total for each joystick] plus the rotary switch harness); unbolt them, and then the tricky part... You need a special tool (either the official tool or a homemade one from e.g. a section of coat hanger wire) to remove the caps on the tops of the yellow plastic handles. Once you remove the caps, there is a nut down in there that needs to be removed, and then the handles will come off. That allows you to remove the joystick from the control panel. The Oscar Controls guy made a good thread detailing how to do this with a homemade tool (made from a coat hanger); and that's how I do it as well. Maybe you can find that thread. |

Are you sure that's necessary? |
