The other day I bought a KETZ shifter that I believe came stock in a Daytona cabinet. The problem is that the shifter feels very loose and wobbly, and certainly not worth putting in my cabinet. It appears that there may be some missing pieces, but I don't know what they are or there purpose. Can anybody identify what is missing here, or why it feels this way? Or maybe somebody has a part breakdown that could be useful? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

From memory, it looks like you're missing a bearing on each side and a shaft through the middle.
I was hoping someone who had a loose one would chime in.
If nobody does, I'll pop mine out in the next few days and take a pic.

I have a Daytona shifter I havent fitted yet. Ill take pics tonight (at work in UK just now) and upload.

For the record, the Ketz shifters were used on Model 3 cabs, like Daytona 2 and Scud Race(Sega GT in the US)
I'm pretty sure that the wiring is different from the original Daytona.
The Ketz will bolt right in to the original Daytona dash though. I'm using one with a Daytona cp.

Does anybody know where I could find a part for this shifter, if we were able to identify what it is? Or do you think that it's just worth forking out the cash for a new one?

Stephen at arcadefixit/VGP (Mylstar on KLOV) has some parts, but not sure exactly what you need.
Here is his Daytona USA 2 parts page.

If you don't see what you need there, drop him a PM on KLOV.
If you don't have a KLOV account, send him an e-mail at info@arcadefixit.com.

See attached pics.
You're missing a bearing on each side and a bolt through the middle.
The bearings just sit in there loose, they aren't pressed or anything.
Basically, the bolt goes through a washer, a bearing, then the shifter itself (not sure if it has any kind of sleeve inside there or not), then the other bearing, a washer, and it's all held together by a screw threaded into the end of the bolt.
If you can find bearings that size cheap, the rest could be pieced together from a hardware store.
Since this is for home use, you might even get by with a stack of washers with a sleeve bearing inside (all available cheap at lowes).
The head of that screw doesn't have much clearance, so you probably couldn't get away with just using a nut unless it was low profile.
Hope this helps.

Awesome, those pictures are really helpful. I can't thank you enough for taking that apart so I can see inside of it. I'll try to piece it back together, but if I'm unable to I'll have to try to find a broken one for parts. Thanks again for all of the help, I appreciate truly appreciate it. -Daniel
