Anyone seen this stick before???

<< < (2/4) > >>

2600:
Never seen it before, but I'd say to keep the joystick from rotating and tangling the fire button.  Looks custom, might of been home made.

Unless there is a pot on there that I don't see, in which case it would be to keep the pot from rotating.

RayB:
OH I think I understand. Does this panel have those ugly top-fire joysticks? (black with big red button on top)??

No, wait, he said THEY ROTATE. So that thingy is probably to keep the wires from twisting. Yeah I get it now! THe stick turns but the metal thingy with the wires does not!  :D

Show us a pic of the top...

cw:
more pics....


and those are not pots on the end of the stick... I had thought they were to make contact with some sort of other swith for rotating...

RayB:
Weird. Maybe the fire button wires are supposed to be threaded through those to ensure they never get tangled up in the microswitches.

cw:
but why do they rotate?
