Joystick Rebuild
« on: October 02, 2008, 10:21:12 pm »
Still a newbie with questions.   ;D

I would like to rebuild this joystick and need to find a couple of parts.  First pic is a blowup of the disassembled joystick and then a blowup of the piece I need to replace (as well as the missing spring).  The other joystick on the cab I just bought is in great shape.



What is the name of this part, and is there anywhere that I can purchase replacements including the spring?



Thanks.

I think Bob Roberts has some aftermarket ones. You can find NOS ones on ebay once in a while. I'm sure some people here have some laying around. Try posting in the BST forum.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Looks like a Wico leaf switch joystick to me..... so yeah, those should work fine.

Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

That was my thinking.
