I am fixing up my Robo Cop and ordered a regular joystick, but it wouldn't fit? Is there a certain type that will fit the Data East panels? I ended up just taking the switches out of the new one and using them to rebuild the old one...and it works fine now...but I'd like to know what to get so if i have to replace it in the future or in case i get another Data East game.

thanks for any help...
 
no clue if DE joysticks are different. I'm assuming you mean a different bolt pattern. I do know the shaft looks physically different than most sticks. kind of flares out a bit.

yep...and the bolt pattern is not even close...i've tried 3 different joysticks so far and no luck :(

not a big deal right now because the one i rebuilt is working great, but i'd just like to know for future reference in case i pick up another game or if this one breaks.

I'll have to go measure out the bolt pattern today and post up some more info, maybe someone knows.
