Repro Joystick Project
Searcher7:
Does anyone here still make reproduction joysticks, and possibly some of the associated parts that usually go with them?
I need are joysticks made to non-standard specs, for a
unique project that I'm working on.
I suppose that I could use standard joysticks, but I'd have to
cut(shorten) the shafts, find cover plates/disks, and C-clips, as well as find a way to cut the slot in the shafts for the C-clips. Not to mention finding rubber grommets.
Thanks.
Darren

Perhaps if you were to tell us what kind of joystick...? There are an awful lot of different joysticks out there...

Arcadeshop.com has (or had at one time) repro Defender and Pacman joysticks. I'm not sure what you are looking for, though.
MinerAl:
your local high school probably has a lathe in its metals shop. Call them up and ask them if they have some students who could modify your joystick shafts for you. You'd be willing to pay $5 each for their trouble...
Any machine shop should have what you require and be able to do it.
