just picked up a sami. seems to work well. the joystick is floppy, and not self centering. should it self center ? also, the aim on the missile hits is a bit off, so i need to adjust that. anyone have any paperwork for the game regarding maintenance and adjustments?

thanks

Mike mine is sloppy too...keep dreaming of the day the whips out of my wifes hands so I can tear mine down and restore it...
 
By the way I'm interested in a film for mine. I don't know if I have one installed. Any idea of how much the costs would be?

Thanks Mike
 
SAMI Joystick

The stick should be self centering, there are two springs that maintain centering. The issue maybe the arms that the springs are attached to are binding up, similar to what a frozen stepper unit does when the grease is too old. Sorry I don't have any paper work for the SAMI. The joystick is also the same on Invaders from Space and that also self centers.
 
any chance you could pop open the coin door and take a pic, so i can see whats missing?

thanks

ps. no idea of the costs of new films, but a few years ago a guy had some made, and sold them for 50 bucks each, so it couldnt be too high, unless he was in that business. we need a group of people , and a doner film
