Gauntlet II: I'm gonna go with new sticks, I think. Recommendations?
ArtMAME:
I have a Gauntlet project cab that I was gonna rebuild a CP for and I was thinking about using Suzos, which GGG calls Omnistick:

and Ultimarc calls Eurostick:

They have similar shape but no Atari logo, but they are microswitch type. I have one that I use in 4-way mode and it is very responsive. Don't know about the footprint though, as my project cab was totally missing the CP.

They seem to be a lot more picky about the conditions they want to work all the time in. I've seen a few Track & Field machines that, even when the leafs were switched, just had probs. And my Gauntlet cab seems to suffer the same probs.
I prefer the clicking, reliable, affordable microswtiches.

I don't think anything is a direct bolt-in replacement for Atari logo joys. I do seem to remember that they made some Atari joys with microswitches, although I could be mistaken there- I know I don't have any. Anyone?
RayB:
Even microswitches can fail. All you have to do with leaf switches is clean off any gunk that may have accumulated between the blade contact points.

Yeah, I would definitely clean the switches before considering a replacement (but then again, I prefer leafs).
