Hey,
It doesn't matter.  All that matters is how you wire the stick once you have it mounted.   ;D

It matters if the stick is a two way...  ;)

I always do vertical, but it really doesn't matter. Real machines had them both ways.

I did vertical, but only because they were going on 6" wide modules, and fit better that way.

How do they really go??? Help!!!

How will they fit best on your CP? That's how they go...
And RayB, somebody has to ask those questions, try hard and you'll probably remember you asked yourself the same question once!
And then remember that i'm weak, so don't hit me...

Alright, this ticks me off!!

The very second I posted this I realized how stupid of a question it was, so I deleted the post. Yet here it is, out in the open for everyone to see. Embarassing.

This is the first time I've built anything and I'm a little freaked out about it coming out right. But the minute I hit 'post' it was like, "oh, that's right, it doesn't matter." Too late. But I'm glad to see that the 'delete' button works ::)

And Ray, quit giving me crap every time I post something. Find someone who is as incredibly knowledgeable as you are to respond to.

That's great, thank you.

I love that putdown: "you haven't been doing this as long as me! You're new! You're making a first cab! Ha ha!"

Um, yes. I am pretty new to all of this. That's my fault. I should have started with years of experience and never been new, I know. I should have never had a first cabinet and instantly had four under my belt.  ::)

But your point is taken, how's this?

How did I miss this post!!

Here's an idea...  create a "A Newbie Question Hall of Fame!!"

We've all asked stupid question!  It would be funny to see them all listed.

(Granted, this goes against the BYOAC creed)

Megashock, just be glad you didn't ask how to install a pushbutton...
Title: Re: NEVERMIND - Joystick mounting - is the base vertical or horizontal?
Post by: megashock5 on January 19, 2005, 01:48:56 pm

you need 2, one for "O" and another of "K" to get passed the OK screen. 
Title: Re: NEVERMIND - Joystick mounting - is the base vertical or horizontal?
Post by: megashock5 on January 19, 2005, 01:55:56 pm
