Title: Nintendo Joystick Dust Washer
Post by: jdbailey1206 on January 26, 2015, 09:38:07 am
Just wondered if anyone knew where I could find a dust washer replacement for a Nintendo joystick.  I have this joystick. (http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=190_348&products_id=1639)  The shaft on the joystick is 1/2 inch wide.  I think I need this dust washer (http://www.focusattack.com/sanwa-jlf-cd-clear-shaft-matching-dustwasher-set/) but can't find any specs on it.  I found one on twisted quarter but I am not paying $16.00 for shipping.

Email Andrew directly. You won't need to pay $16 for shipping to TwistedQuarter if do it the right way.

He's cool about waving shipping for smaller items?

Yeah, of course. Shoot an email to sales@twistedquarter.com and ask him about shipping options.

BTW, I usually order multiple items from TQ so my orders are bigger, but what I do is I do a cart on TQ's site and then one on eBay and see which is cheaper.

Yeah their fleabay page is a lot lower.  $6.00 for a washer but I still emailed him because the fleabay page doesn't verify what one I am purchasing.  The 11/16th or the 9/16th.  We'll see what happens.

Looks like he has one on Fleabay but its the 11/16 interior diameter and I dont want one that big.  I know its not much larger than 9/16 but I dont want a dust washer banging around when I play.  Im heading over to BST to see if anyone has one they want to get rid of.
