ManOfScience Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Could anyone with an Apple ][ Joystick and a caliper post some actual dimensions? Would love an actual Apple ][ Joystick (A2M2002), but like other nostalgic devices from my youth, their value has now risen above my budget. Therefore, I am switching to assembling icons of those memorable devices rather than the devices themselves. I am starting to create a 3D Printable model for the A2M2002 Joystick (and will likely do a A2M2001 Paddle too) but I don't have an example to measure. I have lots of photos, so I can probably get a quite accurate reproduction with some basic height and width numbers by extrapolating the rest from the photos. I also *suspect* that the case dimensions were identical between the A2M2002 and the A2M2012. Any help appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+H454 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I'd like to help, but I'll I have is the very similar CH joysticks. The real apple joysticks run a little too expensive for me. I know CH "thumb-sticks" are still made under APEM. They use 5k pots instead of 150k and I haven't found anyone that has be able to swap pots. https://www.mouser.com/c/electromechanical/industrial-automation/human-machine-interface-hmi/joysticks/?output type=Analog (Resistive) This one even looks like the og CH joystick, but round. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Apem/M21C051P?qs=HVbQlW5zcXVRGvVlYsi%2BUQ%3D%3D Edit: Before somebody shouts out "they make 150k pots!" - I'm talking about drop in, with no mods.

ManOfScience Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Wow! Over $100 for the cheapest one - and that's just the module without the rest of the joystick! This is another example why I need to make a 3d printable reproduction for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
