Hi everyone! I've been thinking about making a MAME cabinet for about 2 years now and this past weekend I finally went to the amazing Arcade auction at Timonium Fairgrounds in MD and picked up a cabinet to gut. I was taking apart the control panel to salvage the working buttons and joysticks before I rebuild the control panel and I got stuck at the joysticks. How do I remove these??? :dizzy: I thought you could just unscrew them, but they don't want to budge. Anyone have any tricks or tips on installing and removing joysticks? Thanks in advance! |

can you post a picture of the underneath of the panel? |

I'm betting there is an "E" clip on the very bottom. Pop it off with a jewelers screwdriver (but cover it with your hand, they fly off and get lost very easily) and the shaft should slide right out. |

Wow, thanks for the quick response! Duh, I should have posted the images, first but here they are: Underside of the panel. As you can see I have removed all the buttons and wiring. I'm thinking about replacing this piece of wood as well so I can design my own stick and button layout. Closeup of the left stick, which I just unscrewed the 4 screws holding it to the wood. Closeup of the right stick, which I went a little further and took off all the microswitches and the "bottom" of the joystick. Any suggestions? |
