good places for buying arcade joysticks
« on: November 19, 2011, 02:37:01 pm »
basicly what the topic says. i'm building a tabletop arcade and i seem to have hit a wall. :banghead:

whenever i see arcade joysticks for sale they never come with the actual hardware to connect them to the actual cp. is this common?

What kind of hardware do you mean? I think most people just pick up some screws or bolts at the hardware store. Otherwise, Bob Roberts sells just about any arcade hardware you can imagine.  8)

You can always get them from Happ too.  They take credit cards...

Yes, mounting hardware is always extra. They don't know what you're putting it into.

Are you getting kickbacks ?

'Coz this is the third post of yours in the past day hawking a joystick that others have panned on.

I have a pair of these and haven't found a reason to use them yet.
