Synthead Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I really want to get a hold of a set of paddles! But I don't want to screw up buying a set. I've seen paddles where two controllers go into a the left port, and single versions where one goes into one. If I were to play a two player paddle game, would I haaaave to have the single port duals? Or a single on left and right would suffice? I'm kinda clueles on this one as far as paddles go, so any details help Oh BTW - how about jittering pots in the paddles? If I ever get a jitter-er, is it easy to fix?

highinfidelity Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Actually, "single paddles" are "driving controllers", that is a totally different thing. You may want to purchase true paddles to play paddle games. Jetter can be fixed with some de-oxyding spray on the variable resistor, nothing bad.

Synthead Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 Great information everyone! Thanks a lot for the help. I didn't know that driving paddles go 360 degrees, that's crazy. Looks like I'll be purchasing the dualies. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 How do you get the knobs off the paddles. Some I own just come right off, but it seems like they are glued on. Do you take apart the paddle first? I probably have a ton of paddles that jitter, at least 15-20 sets. I just leave them in a box with all the joysticks I own. Haven't had time to sit down and try and put together Atari sets. I think I have like 50 units of various condition. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be into RC cars too, so I know exactly where to get that cleaner! I feel really good about buying paddles that don't say "jitter-free" now ... you guys are the best!
