: 1) First of all, don't you think you would want a 2-way joystick to properly recreate the Jouse experience?
: 2) Second, don't you want leaf-switch joysticks instead of microswitch?
1) Yes, but I haven't been able to find the actual Joust control panel, outside of watching one go for over $150, and just joystick assemblies going for over $100 on Ebay recently. And Robotron is the other extreme that will also be housed in this game cabinet.
2) Since I don't have the original control panel assembly for Jooust, Robotronm, StarGate, ect., and they don't make leaf switches any more, I might as well go with the more reliable microswitches until I get lucky and fine OEM control panels.
So I'm back to square one. Finding the closest replica(as far as feel and responsiveness) that I can.
