Title: I'm going to flood the FS/FT/WTB section with joysticks, but first...
Post by: Sarver Systems on October 09, 2014, 03:37:51 pm: ... I'll need to know what each one is.

Is there any kind of cross reference that I can look at by picture to compare with what I have to sell?

I've got about 50 used controllers, all working pulls from games that I want to sell, but I want to keep it as organized and informative as possible. I want to avoid any gray area.

This is a ______ joystick, used in ______ game.

That's what I'm hoping to come up with.

Were they all pulled from conversion games?

Post by: Sarver Systems on October 09, 2014, 04:00:39 pm: Very very few of them were. They've been accumulated over years and years of collecting.

Most were pulled years ago and stuffed in a box.

We're finally cleaning house!

I found a few sites selling the guns, so I'm covered there.

THey're all Suzo-Happ guns, sold on their site. But I have more colors than they carry. Same guns though.

It won't tie the sticks to specific games, but it may be helpful in identifying the manufacturer/model.

Post by: Sarver Systems on October 22, 2014, 01:41:42 pm: VERY VERY organized.

In fact, I hope others follow my lead.

I just finished cleaning up the guns and I'm going to be taking some pics tonight.

I just bought a bench grinder/buffer to clean up the joysticks, some have some surface rust, and others just need some dirt cleaned off.

Post by: pbj on October 22, 2014, 04:45:03 pm: Lots of typing, still no joysticks. No pic = no joysticks
