Joystick
shardian:
You won't find restrictor plates at your local arcade store. If you want a true 4-way, post a "wtb" ad in the buying forum here (once you have 10 posts of course). There is a joystick called a "Ms. Pac reunion stick" that is a true 4-way joystick, and will run you around $20 shipped brand new.
Arcade Freak:
hi jeffo,
i have just a plain cocktail cabinet (head to head...so 2 joystick)and we play pac-man, frogger, DK, galaga, galaxian...no fighting games as i do not have enough buttons on this machine.
thanks shardian...is that a fare price for a new stick...
also, since i don't care if its new or not is there any one in the Toronto area that would have a used one to sell cheap.
cheers everyone

What a coincidence ... I am in TO and, while I do not have any 4-way sticks to sell, may be able to point you to the right people.
If you are looking to buy new, Starburst Coin is the Canadian distributor for Happ parts (and their online catalog doesn't show nearly the stock that they carry or can order):

Also, the folks at CGCC (most of the folks there are in SW Ontario) may be helpful:

But first, do you now what kind of joysticks you have (some of the common sticks can be changed from 8-way to 4-way with a minor part change ... it's not perfect, but it may work well enough for your liking) ?
Arcade Freak:
wow what a coincidence...you are right..so far all the people i see here are from the states.
i don't know what kind of stick i have...how can i tell? or does a picture tell a thousand words???
i was thinking of starburst for that plate....not sure if they would carry that...yet again perhaps they would have used equipment. i will call them right away and let you know shortly.
cheers
calude
CheffoJeffo:
Starburst definitely won't have a restrictor plate (I live 10 blocks away and spend more time there that I probably should ...).
If you can post a picture (click the Additional Options link to the bottom left of the textbox when you are posting), someone will probably be able to identify your joystick.
