Title: Aim-n-Fire Controller for Tin Star / Wild Western / Front Line
Post by: edlee on June 03, 2016, 12:45:25 am

For your information, there are currently two used WWK00003 Aim-n-Fire controllers available on eBay:

These controllers are often misidentified as, "rotary joystick," "spinner joystick," or, "unknown joystick."

I bought an Aim-n-Fire controller recently, and I'm wondering how I am supposed to install it.  The diagram in the Tin Star owner's manual seems to indicate that there is a pin holding the main knob to the joystick shaft, but there seems to be no pin in my controller when I look through the hole to the other side.  Do any of you have any advice on how to install the Aim-n-Fire controller?

Front Line uses the same controller.   ;D

Pg 21+22 of the manual here (http://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-videogames/F/Frontline.pdf) describes the pin as a "Roll Pin". (Item 2)

It appears that you are either looking through the hollow pin or it is missing.
