I recently dug out an extra Gorf control panel which I forgot I had, and noticed the joystick insert is not like any of the other Gorf ones I've ever seen.

Instead of the computer-like dots it says "Galactic Weapons System". Do you guys think this is authentic? Or an authentic reproduction? Or maybe someone's homemade jobby?

I've had the damn thing for a decade now, and forgot about it. It is kind of cool. I haven't taken it apart because I don't have the tamper-proof tool set. Opinions?

i'll bet it's from a different game since quite a few trigger joysticks use that same size and shape insert.

unfortunately, i can't tell you what game it's from. i'm sure someone else can (and will soon!) so really i'm just wasting my time even giving you my two cents.

but i am upping my post count!

Yeah I suppose you're right. Its just that Galactic Weapons System really relates directly to Gorf, but it may to other games as well. We'll wait to see what others have to say....

Throw that one on your game John, I think that would be a sweet conversation piece for your next party!

I found the allen security wrench for this in an envelope in the coin box of the Gorf I bought (though the screws were too rusted to take the joystick apart). How does the Gorf Champion not have the right tool for a Gorf joystick? :)

I bought one of these sets and never had a problem with any screw or bolt on any of my games since. And yes, I've taken apart my GORF joystick handle as well.

Simple, I live in the dark ages! My other control panel had normal phillips screws in that when I bought it, so a simpleton like me could take it apart. I just had that one apart last nite to clean the trigger contacts....
 
Does anyone have one of these "Galactic Weapons System" inserts for sale? Thx
