Title: Blue balls needed!
Post by: sdrob04 on November 09, 2004, 10:20:46 am
I figured that subject line would get some attention  :)

I'm interested in a straight-across trade of some NOS Wico red ball-top joysticks for some NOS (or very lightly used) Wico blue ball-topped sticks to round out my cp design possibilities.

Anyone interested?  I have up to 6 sticks to trade if so...

I used to know this chick...but that's another story.

Can't help with your hardware problem.

Looks like this is destined to be a valuable thread after all...

Keep the humor coming  :)

This thread rules.

Good luck though, those blue joysticks are pretty rare.  I have a red and a purple on my Xmen cab, but the other 2 originals (including the blue) were replaced :(

I have a pair like the ones thenasty pictured, only in better condition.

(http://www.trimoor.com/mame_cab/controls/cp1.jpg)

They are currently in my MAME cab, so a straight trade isn't worth it to me.

Perhapse if you offered something in addition to the red sticks...


*cough* trackball *cough*
Ahem.  I seem to be down with a case of the trackball coughs.

how does it feel to grip the stick? is it easier to play with the balls? ???

I really can't say.  I haven't been able to play many games yes. (crappy computer setup)

It certainly feels more natural.  My fingers curl around the sphere better than the bat shaped stick.  I think there's a bigger playability difference in micro/leaf switches than in ball/bat handles.

Maybe I should try a micro-ball setup.

specially when GF/Wife/Mistress like to grease it up a bit then hide it in a dark place.  :o Then after that, she like to play horsey ride.
They love to play but they SUCK too, and we love it  ;D

I'm in the same situation - err... I have NOS red knobs, but need two green knobs. Anyone care to swap knobs...

"Some come here to sit and think"

"But I come here to scratch my Balls and read the Bul$hit on the walls "  ;D  :D

Oh! reminds me the first day I read this on the bathroom walls in Hi-Skool.  :o Ah! the good old days.
