Big thanks brutha. These didn't exist and then they show up less than a month after getting my DK machine. Timing is everything.

Actually they did exist. I posted this back in April:

You'll want a 4-way of course. If you can only find an 8-way joystick, or end up with one that doesn't have a restrictor at all, you could contact this guy from an RGVAC thread -- Link -- to see if he still has any 4-way restrictors, or can make more.

If you follow that link you'll find Arcade Addiction's post on RGVAC from November 2005:

Do you still need one ? I made 22 at work (Tool & Die maker) last month. I
used a NOS one as the template. The only difference is they are
clear(silver) cad plated instead of yellow(gold). If you want I'll email a
picture next to the original one. LMK

I emailed him back in April when I made that post about those restrictors he made but I never got a response. I'm glad that someone found him. I'm surprised there was no response to his original post on RGVAC.

Sorry I never got a email from you. I did from 2 or 3 other guys. The spam filter must have got it.

If nobody found him, thus you couldn't find him to buy them, they didn't exist.

Of course they existed. I doubt he's been on a milk carton for the last 2 years, so obviously some folks knew where he was. They may have, for all intents and purposes, not existed for you or me, but that is a far cry from simply not existing at all.

No problem. I figured either your email had changed or for some reason it didn't get through.

I received the pair of 4-way restrictors in the mail today and they are perfect. Excellent, smooth, accurate machining. These are smoother than the originals. Riding the stick along the inside edges of these restrictors is like greased glass. I didn't intend to but I think I am going to replace the original restrictor in my SPO stick with one of these (I only planned to replace missing restrictors with these), just for the enhanced smoothness when the stick is riding along the inside edge of the restrictor (like when quickly going from up to left, left to down, etc.) Very well done.

Got mine, mighty sweeeeeet. perfect fit, quality parts.

WunderCade · « **Reply #52 on:** December 12, 2007, 11:16:16 pm »

Just ordered mine.

WunderCade · « **Reply #53 on:** December 21, 2007, 03:11:12 pm »

Just received mine....fantastic job at fabrication, they are very nice looking. Now...what part do I need that will stiffen up the directional throw of the joystick? Right now the one I have has almost no tension at all when moving RT, LT, Up or DOWN.

You're going to need a stiffer spring. Lowe's or Home Depot should have something.

any update on the 2-ways? I'll take 2 when they are available.

... I have to charge $6.00 a piece shipped this time...

That is a great price, the last time I looked at having these made the company I went to wanted $8 each. Good job!

Best,

yeah hope to see 2 ways soon

CheffoJeffo · « **Reply #58 on:** January 03, 2008, 07:17:07 am »

Sorry, long overdue positive feedback for these -- beautiful quality and the price is absolutely right.

Thanks ArcadeAddiction!

ArcadeAddiction · « **Reply #59 on:** January 08, 2008, 11:53:04 pm »

I just wanted to give you guys a update on the 2-ways. I'm still slammed at work. Look for them around the first week or two in Feb. Sorry, but that's as soon as I can get to them. I'm working 10 hour days, the last thing on my mind is staying after to work on them. My wife/kids would kill me..

I have Stamping Die due to our customer on the 30th. After that things should slow down enought for me to do them.

Thanks for all the postive feedback on the parts. I'm glad everybody likes them.

ElfShotTheFood · « **Reply #60 on:** January 09, 2008, 03:35:47 pm »

well, thanks for taking the time to work on these things. we really appreciate it.

nice packing and tremendous product.

thank's ArcadeAddiction

EDIT: ArcadeAddiction count me in for a pair of 2 way, when they are available.

Would Popeye require an 8-way? Any plans....

Level42 · « **Reply #63 on:** June 04, 2008, 01:16:52 pm »

No. Popeye is 4-way. I wonder what Nintendo games were 8-way ?

Oh! Hmm...I thought in order to go up the stairs you'd need a 8-way diagonal throw stick.

Level42 · « **Reply #67 on:** June 14, 2008, 11:54:21 am »

Nope, you just hit up or down. Works exactly like that on the Atari 8-bit home system too.

It's also a "one going move". I mean, once Popeye started the climb or descent, you can't stop or reverse. Only when he "arrives" he can go back.

I would like to buy one 4-way restrictor !

Any chance on also getting the Microswitches somewhere ?
