1  Tech and Marketplace / I need help with my game! - Technical Discussion / ID this joystick - for parts / repair on: January 05, 2016, 06:06:03 pm
looking to find some joystick information... a name or brand for this joystick shown, for compatible parts...  if anyone knows...

I do not see any markings on it, I have two installed on a cocktail cab, both feel like the bushings are worn out and need replacement

thanks

to be more specific for anyone with similar issue in the future, the 2nd broken leg was found on chip 6D at the 7th pin down from the top left

well good news is I was able to fix it with the original proms.. .

after ordering new eproms from twisty wrist online, I decided to mess with this some more, cleaning the other 4 proms and custom chip, I found a cracked leg on the custom chip.. . ran another jumper wire for that broken pin an now it works great. ..

now I have some new eproms in the mail for backups

thanks again for the help and suggestions

the eproms are very dirty and look overheated on this board ( dark brown and purple coloring on the legs )

when I removed 5E and 5F , pin 1 was broke on 5F and part of the pin stayed in the socket

I cleaned them and ran a jumper wire from pin 1 to the other side of the board socket, with no change in the picture

thinking i'm going to clean the other set of eproms as it can't hurt.. .

a pacman cocktail made its way into my house over the holidays, while it arrived DOA I was able to get it going with a little cleaning, but the sprites are messed, where would I get the new roms for this? or is this bad ram/rom ?

thanks in advance

fresh delivery of unobtainium from rainland. .. my good friend over in Ninove sent me two bottles of WITKAP

from what I remember of the story its brewed by Monks that all they do is brew beers to support the cause

it is a hard to get beer, can't wait to get a taste on these...

personally I think one should keep their grail talk offline, it should be only your close friends who may be into position to come across the said grail, they should know about what your seriously looking out for. ..

publicly, grail talk about what is a rarity in the arcade " game " is going to change based on your knowledge, as I learn more my thoughts of a grail is ever changing and expanding over the time spent collecting or preserving, however you want to look at it. ..

John, I like the attitude, don't change a thing, that's what makes it entertaining, that's one of the reasons people are here and stick around, granted I watched your 2H video in 20 minutes fast forwarding thru most of it, but caught the overall vibe of what you were out to accomplish. .. and it did come out nice. ..
