| D_Harris:
Does anyone know what cabinet this was originally?(see pics). I attempted to install a joystick since the one it originally came with is long gone. Unfortunately the joysticks I have, which are mostly from Wico and Xarcade, are too big making it impossible to close the control panel/monitor cover which opens up like the front hood of a car. I unscrewed the monitor and slid it up as far as I could on it's supports, but cannot get any of the several joysticks I tried to work consistently because when everything is closed the joystick assembly bottom is still right up against the bottom of the monitor, which I think causes an open circuit somewhere. I figure if I can find out what this cabinet was originally dedicated for, I might be able to determine the particulars of the original joystick. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have never seen that shape before. Could very well be a generic. |

Are you sure it had joysticks installed in the original game? Could that have been some kind of trivia game that didn't use them? |

Try a Happ Universal: http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/universal_joy.htm It can be 4/8 way and only needs a 1-1/8" hole (same as a standard pushbutton hole) and has a smaller footprint. |
