so i totally restored my star wars yoke. at first i was gonna sell it as is along with the yoke rebuild kit i got when i purchased the machine. then one night i got a hair up my ass and decided to tackle it myself. i had all the yoke metal powder coated...including the cage...overlay cover....and handles. installed a new yoke overlay from thisoldgame....and installed new yoke rebuild kit. one question i have is is the handles supposed to be a little tight at first until it gets broken in? everything works great and plays good...but the handles are tight enough where when you let go it does not bounce back to center. the left and right is perfect...just the handles. is this normal?

here are the other parts that i had powder coated. anything metal that is visible i powder coat. i love the look of it and the durability. i know the yoke and cp got totally covered...but i did it basically so i didnt have to spend the time removing and cleaning off the old art. all they do is take the sandblaster and shoot it right off in 5 minutes. saves me a bunch of time.
