Title: WTB: Oscar 4-Way Restictor Plate
Post by: spiffyshoes on December 23, 2004, 09:10:35 am

Does any one have an extra one laying around?  I desperatly want one.

If you'd rather trade for it things I have to trade are.

Used:
Wico 8-Way Leaf joystick, Wico 4-Way Leaf joystick, Ultimarc T-Sticks, or some misc coin mechs

Also I have plenty of Brand New HAPP competition joysticks I could trade.

I have been looking for these, too, and I'm wondering why Oscar controls wont consider doing another run.  I think the guy who owns that company occasionally posts on this forum so I hope he sees this thread.  I would even pay more than the previous asking price because I think they are a useful item.  I'd like both the mounting plates, and the 4 way and 2 way restrictors.

I know there was talk awhile ago for another run of 4 way restictors if enough people were interested in them.  But I'm not sure what happened with that.

That would be cool.  I'm sure there would be tons of people interested.  I hope some one has one for trade though cause I'm kind of impatiant and hate to wait for these things.  ;D

I've been waiting for another run of them too.  He quit making them before I was ready to buy 'em.

I'm looking for a set of 2 way and diagonal 4 way too...

I have a set of the 4-way diagnol restrictor plates, that I am no longer using on my cabinet, still using the main base and 4-ways though.

I sent a link to this thread to Oscar controls so that hopefully he (Oscar) can post on the present state of the mounting/restrictor plates.  There seems to be a demand for the product, if Oscar wont manufacture them perhaps he would allow another distributor (Ultimarc/Groovygamegear) to take over and market them.

Just my 2.5 cents,

Just to clarify, the resrictor plates I have are the 4-way diagnol type for games like Q-bert and Congo Bongo.  Thanks.

Whats the difference? How exactly do the plates mount to the joystick?  Couldn't you just rotate them 45 deg so that they would work like regular 4-ways?  I haven't seen any clear pics of oscars restrictors but I thought they mounted on the wood not the joystick itself

I thought these were them but maybe I was mistaken.

They don't mount to the wood, they mount to a special mounting plate Oscar sells.  Though I guess you COULD mount them to the panel if you wanted to.
