There is a Robotron at my local arcade, I will be down there this weekend so I will measure them for you.

I've heard 10' Center to center from a couple different sources, would love to have that confirmed

I swear I remember reading, somewhere, that it was 12".  That being said, I could be remembering incorrectly or, just as likely, my memory of the statement is fine but the statement itself was wrong.

Try sending a PM to Dave K (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=profile;u=48)  As far as I know, he owns an original Robotron.

You'd have to play pairs to be any good with that control setup...  :P

Hi Sparky, center to center they joysticks holes are exactly 10 inches apart.   The diameter of the holes are 1 and 6/18th inches (35mm).  Hope this helps.
