Did a restoration on my Gottlieb Mad Planets control panel recently that I thought I would share. It had a badly worn cpo and the incorrect stick as allot of Mad Planets machines do. I stripped the panel and removed the cpo with Aircraft Remover. Then I sanded and painted it with Rusto satin black and applied a repro cpo. Then found and purchased a broken MACH 3 joystick and assembly from a klov'er. Also purchased some NOS Gottlieb stick shells on Ebay from another KLOV'er. These were listed incorrectly as Bally/Midway replacements and did not see much bidding. I then purchased the Gottlieb reproduction stick insert from Chris Moore and put it all together...
It seems the "Mad Planets" stick demands a premium price from some people. Since it is the same stick as MACH 3 and those seem to be readily available I do not see the logic in paying allot of money for this stick. Once you have a mach 3 stick just purchase the repro insert from Chris Moore and you have the exact same thing.
