Title: World Series Baseball Control Panel
Post by: mytymaus007 on June 27, 2012, 09:42:09 pm
Just wondering who ever tried to hook up a World Series Baseball Control Panel for MAME is it worth it. After hooking it up how does it play and can it be used for any other games!! Im debating about building a Control panel for this Game. Also if any body has the original arcade game or the control panel itself can some one give me the height and width! :cheers:

I have had the controllers in hand before, they will hook up via the usual analog methods. However those analog snap joystick baseball titles can often be had for a $100 bill in working condition, might just be easier to buy a real machine.

There are about a half dozen games that can use them, all golf and baseball titles.

I had a real machine briefly but enjoyed Clutch Hitter so much more than I flipped the World Series like 2 weeks later.

No, $20 for the panel is a good deal, $50 for the panel is an ebay seller who lists every panel for $50. The whole machine can't do much better than $100 in nice condition.

Maybe $100 in a market loaded with a glut of arcade machines.  I've not seen one sell for less than $350 around here, which is why I don't own one yet.

I had a bowling game that used that joystick too.

The cheapest I've seen one around here is $250 which is why I don't own one.

Was it actually moving at that price or just listed at that price? I rarely see a working anything listed for $100, but that is the sort of title that you can often get for $100 with some negotiations.

The one I'm thinking of went for that but it was for sale for awhile. 

You do raise a good point though about just buying a dedicated.  The first auction I went to had a Road Blasters that went for $125.  I've always kicked myself for not buying it.  I picked up a used RB CP and plan to hook it to my MAME cab.  I'll probably have at least $75 into the CP project.
