Those are Leland Analog joysticks from World Series the Season and John Elway's FootBall. |

Most golf games (especially the popular ones) use a TB. IIRC, only one golf game used something like this, crgolf (Crowns Golf). But if you look at the CP pic, you can see it's not the same. However, the spring stick will work for this game, far better than a TB for this one game. |

Thanks for the input guys. The joysticks are from my old Pong. Over the past month I've been trying to do some work on it to get it running better than what it is now (see this thread.) I thought maybe if I could find out what kind of joysticks it used I might be able to replace these ones. The main problem is when you move the paddle too fast it gets all scrambled and the ball will pass right through the paddle, making it really irritating to play now (you can see the problem in the video in the other thread). The wife says I should just let it die, but I just can't do that. |

Is your wife craxy? If your letting it die please send it in its coffin to Dublin Ireland Please!! An old games console I had in the mid eighties had the same style stick. It was called a rowtron, i'd say that would be as hard to find though The plastic bits on the sticks screw off too Could you not modify something like the stick below to remove the return to centres? http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/50274000.htm |

Damn It!!!! Just as I was making some headway one of the connections breaks off. Any ideas on how I can try to fix this? Does this thing come apart any more so I can get inside and fix the broken connection? |
