Title: Converting to Sanwa - Help
Post by: RetroReign on December 18, 2022, 10:02:33 am
I have an Arcade Legends 3 and Galaga Reunion cabinet that I want to swap the US style joysticks to Sanwa joysticks with the servo controlled 4 to 8-way gate.  My goal is to have two machines that can do both 4 and 8 way to cover both vertical and horizontal games.  The Arcade Legends is a top-mount, wooden panel with carriage bolts while the reunion cabinet is the standard metal control panel.  What is the best method to convert these?  How do I adjust the depths between the metal and wood to achieve the proper ball height?  Is that done via mounting depth, or can you buy different shafts for the joystick?
