xmetalhedx Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Ok, here's the deal. 1: I need a good joystick or two, preferably a CX40, or a Wico ball or bat, Tac 2, Comp pro, Slick Stik, or other good non pistol grip joystick. 2: My paddles aren't working on my 7800(no i dont have any other consoles to test them on). The fire buttons work, but the paddles dont. So, I need a new set of paddles, hoping that my paddles are bad and not my console. 3: I'm building a few arcade style control panels and and I'm at the point where I need some donor sticks to canabalize. preferbly they would have physical damage to the plasic or something but be electrically sound, becasue if the cords are shorted or are missing plugs etc, they are useless to me. (look for my thread in the hardware section) I'm new to collecting so I'm not sure what things are really worth, so you guys will have to give me an idea I do have a few 8bit carts I may be willing to part with in trade. im hesitant to get rid of them because i was hoping to find an 8 bit comp to use them but I havent so far. Of course, not having a computer to use them also means I have been unable to test them.

xmetalhedx Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 Does nobody have any broken joysticks to sell? I shudder at the thought of tearing up good sticks for the project. The others I can get at Packrat or the Goat Store, but i was hoping to get a deal on some broken ones to use for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xmetalhedx Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 Well, let me know what you have and what you want for them and I'll think about it. But, in the mean time, I'll be holding this mint 7800 stick hostage and if none of you sell me any broken sticks on time, I'll turn the neighborhood kids loose on him till he's laying lifeless on the floor and in suitably bad shape to be used for parts. edit: wow, my typing looked like it was done by a preschool kid who only had thumbs.

Adrian M Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 xmetal - PM me. I have one of those 1977 joysticks in semi-working condition as well as a spare Driving Controller if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
povlok1 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 pm sent, I have several of everything you listed and other ideas for you such as some actual arcade atari joysticks, could be great for a custom project like what you are talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
