720 Joystick on ebay for !5.50 (coming up today)
« on: July 14, 2003, 08:24:12 am »
I was going to bid on this mismarked 720 controller for parts, and realized that it probably should go to someone who will actually use it.

It doesn't mention what game its for, so the price is really really low (usually they are going for 75-100 bucks.

Good luck.  Hopefully we see this being used soon.

It looks pretty damaged...

Are you sure about it's quality? Are you gonna make a cab with those?

My favourites are the naomi balltop! Those rule! :)

I don't know about damaged, but it does look old.

You can use these in a cab (same as a spinner hack, IIRC) but getting them for your 720 cab is even better.  Unless, of course, you use this on your MAME cab to control 720.

Looks as good as mine... And mine works fine.

The only thing missing (thats really needed) is a metal cover to hold that plate down.  

But you always get that on ebay.  And no it's not mine.  Just a good deal I was going to jump on... but figured its better to let others jump it instead.

Ha ha ha...  I've been eyeing it, too...  I've been planning on bidding low on it, but there's really no reason for me to...

By the way, here's a link to my web page with a bunch of information about the 720 joystick hack:
