Yeah, sorry, I didn't know the answer to that one. by Ice Cream Jonsey 08/15/2020, 8:41pm PDT God, I frigging love joysticks. And getting new joysticks. I am trying to, well, not restore. Re-imagine? A Mr. Do! game. Some pictures: The sides are so bad, god, it kills me when people do that to their games. Looks like a wolverine got it. That is awful from my perspective unless I stencil the whole thing, and I pet Universal stencils are $200+. It would not add any value to the game in terms of what it would one day sell for. (Not that that's my goal, I just like Mr. Do!.) This joystick is actually good, but if it isn't perfect when I finish with the game, it's getting replaced. (I am OK that it is from a Bomb Jack.) Argh, I didn't take any photos of the mess that is on the inside. Basically, the CRT broke. It is coming out. The wiring was a rat's nest. I am taking all that out and putting in a JAMMA harness. I bought the JAMMA-to-Mr. Do! adapter, so I can run the real board I have with the high score kit. (And if I ever want to run some other vertical JAMMA cab, I can.) I bought an LCD screen because I want to see what it's like. Sort of like an automotive reviewer having a Corolla as their daily driver for a year. Just want to know the full range of experiences.
