Title: help ID a joystick
Post by: ghettodish on February 10, 2009, 09:13:31 pm

Today I picked up a free Arch Rivals cabinet. I picked it up for educational purposes as I wanted to see how a real arcade system was put together. I'm going to part out what I can and junk the rest.

I was wondering if the joysticks were worth keeping. Are new handles and centering pieces available? Or should i just toss 'em out?

Who makes this? What's it called?

T'is a Sinistar (Williams) 49-way joystick.

I think you could find some interested buyers here or on Ebay. :)

Thanks. Now that I know what it is I can look for parts. I see that GGG has the centering "spiders" I need, as well as controller boards. I'll have to look around for handles/shafts. Does anyone sell these?


Update:I found shafts at Eddie's Arcade Shack
