WTB: Desperately need Playchoice 10 Countertop Joystick

Hi everyone-

I was ripped off in a deal when I purchased my Playchoice 10 countertop unit. The seller "forgot" to bring the 2nd player joystick at the time of the sale, and doesn't appear to be delivering any time soon. But thats another story...

I am in desperate need of a countertop playchoice joystick (the little joystick that looks like a black plus). I am willing to pay whatever is reasonable for it, any condition is accepted.

If you have one, please email me directly at cpsystem3 (at) gmail.com for the fastest reply.

Thank you!
Bill
 
I am going to start making new one's at work tonight (joysticks, not switches) One of mine is bent and thought it would be a good little project to try and reproduce.
I took both of mine out and replaced them with 2 vs. sticks a couple of weeks ago. Took some "finaggling" on my part, but I managed to get them installed without ANY permanent modifications to the cab itself. Maybe you should try it out until you can find a replacement stick (sorry, not selling mine)
I got pics in my album if you want to see what I did...

Do a search on here. Their was somebody selling them. Don't know if they sold, for he wanted like 100 or something around there for them.

Good luck

Did a few searches and didn't find anything... Do you know who was selling them? I'm hoping maybe someone got a nice one and has a lesser quality spare joystick then can sell me. Doesn't even have to be perfect, just need something for P2!!

Sorry I did a search on here too and could not find it. Really don't remember when I seen it. I want to say last year but not for sure. The only thing I can think of is go thru all the for sale post until you get to that one. It will take sometime and alot of scrolling down the page.

Sorry I could not be anymore help
 
No worries, I appreciate the lead.

I did track down evidence of a NOS joystick sale last year. I've contacted the seller...at be he can let me know who bought it, and maybe there's a snowballs chance in hell they replaced a lesser quality one they can sell me (hey, I can dream, right!!!)
 
I have finally finished my prototype of replacement sticks for my system.
I really like how it came out. The top stick is removable so you can have the straight stick or a ball style (yet to be made). Best part is I did not have to mod any original parts so I can go back to black straight sticks if I want to.

More pictures of the stick removed and unscrewed in my album.

Why not just buy a ball of the same diameter and drill a hole through it?
If I remember correctly, the inside diameter of the ball is .187 of an inch...
 
Guys- I'm strongly considering having the joystick shafts drawn in autocad and having a machine shop mill new ones. They would be the same shape/size as the original shafts, only the black "cap" would be cut as part of the metal (one solid piece). The user can then decide if they want to paint it for the authentic look, or just leave it metal.

Would anybody be interested in these if I make it happen? I have a supplier that claims to be able to do small batches for reasonable prices, so I'll probably make however many people need.

PM me if interested.
 
I got mine installed finally if you guys want a rough idea of what they might look like.
I did put more of a taper on mine than the factory ones.
Just for kicks
