Your blog is offlimits to me - plus many people don't often surf off of a project thread onto a blog. You'll get a whole lot more help around here by posting the details in this thread. The game title is the only reason I'm following it...

I think you're right.....so I will show you all what happened 'til now.
This is how I received the Berzerk: tube rotated to vertical position and not running, yellow marquee, joystick replaced, Mr.Do (bootleg)-PCB installed, all original PCBs gone, almost all of the original wiring gone :'(
Sideart is good on both sides, no reason to repaint. I'm still surprised that the panel is in original shape (no addition holes ::) )
I rotated the tube back to horizontal and repaired it, bought a marquee and an original Joystick...I have no idea if it still works.....we will see.
Do Berzerk-PCBs work with standard microswitch-sticks, too??
That's it so far. I ordered all connectors to redo the original wiring as good as possible (and necessary). I'm now waiting for a pic to see how the PCBs are installed and will then start to rewire everything.....when everything is running again I will have a new CPO printed.

Looks like you've got a Monroe joystick there. Does it rotate a full 360 perfectly smooth? If so, it's a Monroe, used in Time Pilot and Gyruss. Average Ebay price is about $30.

Most Berzerks you'll find have the standard red ball Happ in them. They originally came with the spiffy optical stick but they were so unreliable Stern stopped using them and sent out replacement leaf sticks as a corrective measure. The original is expensive now but I prefer the Happ anyway.

Gyruss sticks are slightly different than the Time Pilot ones and sell for a premium over the TP ones.
Time Pilot stick is much simpler with only 1 plate. They look identical from above.
