Williams Defender/Joust/Stargate Cocktail/Cabaret Joystick Rebuilding Service NY

[kjoel0123]

Hi all,

If you want your joystick to work like new again then this service is for you. Right now I will replace the shaft and the roller pins for the joystick. This will eliminate wobbly joysticks and make your stick perform like new. I have allowed for very little play so that the stick will not rub at all. These parts are made from hardened steel and will last for many years to come. I have hooked up with a local machine shop over the past month to do the performed work. Send in your sticks with your return info to be 1st on the list !

See the pics below of the old assembly and the new assembly.

Phase 1- What the service will include:
- New roller pin steel assembly
- New pins added (2)
- New e-clip for joystick
- New washer for joystick

I took 2 pics of the parts replaced but one is a little blurry- sorry but I tried.

If the metal base is in terrible shape then wait til phase 3

In phase 2- I will be having the joystick shaft rebuilt and have new screw on ball tops added. For now I am only accepting order for the above phase 1 services. I will need at least 10+ joysticks mailed to me in order to start the rebuilding process. I have yet to get a price for phase 2 but it will be coming soon.

Phase 3-

Have the bases remaufactured to new

Questions Below:

What games is this service for?

- Defender Cabaret and Cocktail Assemblies
- Stargate Cabaret and Cocktail Assemblies
- Joust Cocktail Assemblies
--------------------------------------------------------
- Other Williams cocktail unit assemblies
- Maybe others but I am not sure- maybe someone can confirm this for me

Why am I offering this service?
I am sooooo tired of playing my games with a wobbly worn out joystick assembly. I honestly could not play my stargate cabaret as my stick was sooo loose. I wanted to give back to the arcade word and preserve classic games for everyone. I do not need you to send in the joystick for stargate just send in the assembly

How much will the phase 1 service cost?

$30 each assembly plus priority mail shipping + delivery confirmation+ paypal 3% fee
Total will be $38 with return priority shipping included or $35 with 1st class shipping. Add $3 for each additional stick for shipping


How long will the process take?
I figure about 3-4+ weeks. I will keep everyone updated so you will know about when you will receive your item back from production. Understand that the more stick assemblies I have the faster I can get them rebuilt.

How do I take out the assembly from my unit?
Simple - Remove the leaf switch assembly (the 2 screws). Next loosen up the 4 screws for the assembly. Remove the e-clip. Pull out the joystick. Re- insert the joystick in the assembly with the e-clip. Should take a few minutes to remove. Mail it out.

 I do not need you to send in the joystick for stargate just send in the assembly


How will the package be mailed back?
USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation

I take paypal and I also have my own company (Islandstorks.com) credit card terminal.

I WILL NEED AT LEAST 10 ASSEMBLIES TO GET THEM ALL REBUILT. THE MORE I RECEIVE THE FASTER I CAN GET THE WORK DONE
