Broken Joystick on 2 person game console
Airport Razz, Tue Aug 13 2019, 01:19PM

Looking for one of our local computer or gamer types that is handy. One of our owners has a 2 person game console (table type, reminds me of Pizza Hut in 80s) that one of the joysticks appears to have lost a retaining clip and is out of the game board. Anyone out there familiar with this type of fix?

Have photos of the unit and/or joystick assembly? New joystick assemblies are easily obtainable and fairly simple to replace. If it's a vintage cabinet, then chances are the assembly will be a common part and conform to standards for cabling, mounting, etc.

It looks to be a common circlip, available at auto parts or hardware store tray bins. The missing one is most likely still in the cabinet. Remove any access panels to gain.. well ..'access'.

Did it get fixed? Just noticed this is nearly a year old topic...
