Where can I buy a new red Gorf joystick plastic insert? I also need the 2 tiny bulbs that light up the joystick..
 
Thanks everyone.. I want to get the lights working and a new insert before the seattle show... does anyone know how fast groovygamegear ships?
 
Cool Pm sent:)

I would like to get the light working in mine as well. I have the insert already and the wiring is in the handle but no bulbs or bulb holder, what all would i need? thx

There is a small PCB in the handle.. The PCB has 2 light sockets.. I just picked up a 2 pack of sylvaina 73LL bulbs at autozone.. $4.99 for 2 bulbs. Now my lights are working..

Wonder what these would look like with a red LED replacement?

You'll also need a "security allen" wrench to open up the joystick, it's an inside hex with a relief hole for the security pin on the fastener. Those can be harder to locate, security torx is more common but won't work.
 
If after getting the small pcb and the bulbs installed, your lights still don't work, you may need to have your rank board looked at as well. I think the way they programmed the stick lights at the factory is kinda lame. The stick only lights up when a game starts, and the lights go out when you press the trigger. I believe that the stick should always stay lit, not just after being coined up. Either that, or the bulbs always light up when you press the trigger (even in attract mode).
 
I still have Gorf inserts avaiable, inventories have been fixed on the site.
Ill check into maybe having some new boards made with LEDs.
might be a cool Tron/Dot mod as well.
 
The stick lights up whanever a shot CAN be fired. If you keep blasting away (my preferred method) the stick will stay dark. If you shoot a single shot, once it clears the top of the screen or hits something the stick will light up again.
