UPDATE: Took inventory, sheesh!

GGKoul:
Where did you purchase the analog Baseball sticks??

paigeoliver:
Bob Roberts had the NOS microleafs hidden somewhere on his website off the main page. They were $38 for a pair. I am unsure if he only had that one set, or if he has a lot of them.

They were the long handled ones, so they will work in a wood panel.

I got the analog baseball joysticks on ebay. I was buying a lot of assorted sticks from someone, searched their other auctions, saw those for $10 and snagged them. They are small, analog, and are spring loaded in one direction.

Now, as to WHY I ordered so much is this. I go through a lot of this stuff. I figured it was better to order extra now, then to pay shipping later to get one item.

Current panel ideas.

Defender (Done).
Street Fighter 2
Missile Command (Trackball)
Spinner panel with top-fire 8-way (I DO have a Blue translucent handle I could hack on).
4-way, 2 buttons.
Arch Rivals (dual 49-way).
Stepmania (ordered special buttons for this already)
Dual analog baseball panel.

Other possibilities.
Space Duel
PC Flightstick.
Insert your idea here.

Ok, in the chat room we discussed this, you have WAY too many projects :)  Keep up the good work!

Ok, I finally did a more or less complete inventory of parts.
This is ALMOST everything I have that is either laying around loose, currently in transit to me, or in a non-working machine. I am also including cabinets that are either "unfinished", non-working, or that I plan on "de-maming"

Cabinets
Amazing Maze (pulling the parts out of this and moving it into storage).

Dynamo Caberet. Has 14" VGA display, and 2.25 serial trackball with two buttons installed. It does have a 400 mhz PC inside as well. Has room on the control panel for more stuff.

Sprint 2 complete

Turbo (probably complete).

Frogger (going to customer).

Defender #2 (supposedly sold on ebay, but payment has not arrived).

Stargate (Haven't actually picked this up yet).

Magical Spot cocktail (very nice, plan on Pac-Mame).

Battlezone. No panel, no marquee, no plastic sights. Has mirror and has VGA monitor installed.

Controls.

110+ - assorted buttons (both leaf, micro and solid state, including odd types like light up gambling, Atari cone, and microleaf). I just keep finding more and more of these, grand total might be closer to 200.

http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3284212421&category=13718 Here's a pair of nos Wico microleafs for alot less then Bob wants for them. (Bob usually does have the best prices though) I love these sticks so much that I just bought another pair. Now I have three pairs for future projects.  They feel almost exactly the same as the leafswitch versions, they're nos, alot cheaper and less stressful then trying to win bidding wars for decent leafswitch versions. :P
