Ok, I got the joystick pulled apart up to the rubber dohickey. Shouldn't the red ball top just slide out after that or is there some other fastener I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Jarrett

If it's an old stick, the "rubber doohickey", which should have a metal core, is probably rusted tight to the shaft.
-
yeah, I think it is an old stick because the "rubber dohickey" does have a metal core. I thought rust might be the culprit. I'll try the oil and let it soak in like "Robotussin" and see if that frees it.
-
You gotta work the tussin in.
I used penetrating oil and it still wouldn't budge. I cut the metal core open with a dremel disk.

Do yourself a favor and get one of these.

I did and it works great !
It is the kind they use on the new MS. PAC - MAN / GALAGA reunion cabinets.
I plan on installing one in my GALAGA once i get it restored.
Oh yeah i still need to get those paint codes for you!
-
lol, yeah I'm gonna keep trying to work the "tussin" in and then bust out a puller to do the job.

While that is a nice joystick (I have two), it just does not feel as nice as an original Pacman joystick.

I have to disagree i had a original PAC-MAN joystick.
And while it may have been the bomb 25 years ago.
I just didn't like mine.
