My new toy :-) with problems :-( (Xybots)
MLew:
lol, well, I was snapped a couple pics of the monitor while on...I would have taken more, but we were on our way out, I had been playing it for an hour! (with f@cked up controls!!)
I took the cp home with me to take apart and figure out the joystick issue, and when I disassembled it, there was a lot weird gray-ish..dust. Not normal 20 year old sitting in an attic dust, maybe from a deteriorating pivot ball? Idk, i know its a problem with these joysticks, but I don't know what to look for. the last pic, you can see a small gap between the shaft and the white plasitc holder (plunger?). There is play here, it rocks either way that much in any direction. Might have to replace some of these ol plastic pieces to tighten up these controls.
But, hey! $40 and a new PS, Im happy as ---fudgesicle---!
MLew:
okay, got the joystick apart, here is what I'm looking at...
mand, that pivot ball is NASTY!
all cleaned up...
actuator
shaft assembly, notice the white plastic (the plunger) it looks a bit worndown, any opinions?
lilshawn:
this is where all that nasty is coming from. it should like this:
look how thin yours is around the lip. there should be an extra 1/16th of an inch of plastic on that thing.
http://www.ram-controls.com has rebuild kits.
EDIT: FIXT!
