Title: Pacman/Ms pacman old style centering grommet.
Post by: creatine28 on April 22, 2002, 10:55:36 am

Does anybody know if it's possible to make a centering grommet for an old leaf style pacman stick?  I can't really justify paying $30 plus dollars for a piece of rubber with metal around it.  

I had the idea if using one of my extra Wico 8 way grommets and just super  gluing a washer on the top and bottom of the hole where the joystick goes. unfortuantely the wico 8 ways shafts are slightly bigger then the old pacman josyticks! I think the hole for the Pacman stick is around .267" (around 17/64), so I'll have to see if I can find some washers that will fit.  Maybe someone has another idea or something, or knows of place to buy them for cheaper? ???


Thanks!

Try www.arcadeshop.com

I think they got them for like $20.

Very good retailer BTW.  Very fast service.

I'd definetly be interested!  Is it in pretty good condition? (IE: no cracking etc etc..)   The one I have looks like it's in good condition, but it just doesn't have a very stiff resistance to it.    Are you a member of Paypal?

Thanks!
