In Reply to: Thanks, it worked! Now if I could only figure out why my Hotrod stick gets stuck in one direction? posted by franklin on 18, 2001 at 1:34 PM:
I may be able to point you in the right direction. I had a similar problem with one of my buttons that you're having with your joystick. Everything on the HotRod seems to work in on or off states (even the 8 ways on the joystick) thus the "clicks" and they are controlled by microswitches. I changed out the microswitch on the button in 5 minutes and now it works PERFECT! Check this out:
Go here:

Now click "Amusement Products"
Now click "Joysticks"
Now click "Competition Joystick"
Now click "Mounting and Exploded Views"
BAM!!I think all you have to do is get one of those microswitches! Cheap as hell too! A button WITH a microswitch costs less than 2 dollars so I'd imagine the microswitch itself is....
