Title: Monroe Joysticks For Sale - all spoken for again.
Post by: nostrebor on March 27, 2005, 10:52:37 pm
GGKoul,

I sent you PM, but you might not have noticed it. I have one of these available again, if you still want it.

If anyone else wants to be runner up, LMN.

UPDATE: GGKoul has made contact! Thanks for the interest!

(edit for poor typing)

I have three Monroe Joysticks that I would like to sell. These are typical to Gyruss, Time Pilot, Rampage, and others. They are renowned for their durability, and their smooth circular motion.

These are used sticks. I disassemble them, polish all the rust off the mating surfaces using consecutively finer grades of sandpaper, then polish with two grades of Wenol to get a nice smooth finish. The round parts are polished while mounted in a drill press, the others are polished with cotton buffs in a drill. After polish, I wax with carnuba, grease the mating metal surfaces, and re-assemble.

Once this operation is complete, these have nice smooth action. They are my personal favorite 8-way!

I would like to get $25 each shipped anywhere in the 48 states. I will ship out of the US for $20 + actual cost.

There is lots of info on this site about these, just search monroe.

Is that what that thing is?  I have one of those and thought it was a heck of an odd-ball joy.  I have a couple of oddities lying around.  Scratch one off the, "what is this thing" list.  ;D

Nope. These did come off EBAY, but it has been a while ago. I was going to sandbag these for myself, but my Moon Patrol needs some parts, so off they go...

Lilwolf,

Thanks!
