I have 3 cabs with all different types of joystick. All have a varying degree of looseness. My Impress 1p joystick is so loose i'm surprised it does not lock in a position when its just left dangling.
It causes me to die quite often as just a knee jerk reaction knocks it into a direction and sometimes kills me.
Is there some mechanism which adjusts looseness or is it wear and tear specific? I cannot find anything that adjusts the looseness. I just found that the stick in question is a 5 pin , should of looked before ordering with Oxstu.
Well at least I can fix the other one
This industry has become 2 dimensional as it transcended into a 3D world.
Well you didn't really say which type of stick you have but... If its like the Sanwa JLF's you can wrap tape around the end of the stick where it makes contact with the microswitches to tighten up the action. If its like the Semietsu LS-32 then just bend the microswitch blades in towards the stick more.
well i've heard of replacing some sort of spring within the stick to ensure that it springs back to centre immediately and is a little more stiff if that's what you mean. however i have no idea whta type of spring this is etc. could you take it appart and see what is causing the stick to spring back to the centre? surely replacing this would sort it out?
Richie: It's just from wear-n-tear, there's no adustment mechanism on any of the Seimitsu-Sanwa sticks for the resistance feeling. The components at fault are most likely the spring and bearing. It must be extremely worn out if it operates as you describe (I'm surprised the micros are still functioning..lol). Probably the bearing was not lubricated by the operator, so it's worn down more significantly as well. What cabinet were you requesting the LS-32's for ? Impress? I might have some extras, then switch one of them with the 5-pin type, LS-32-01,etc. instead, if need be.
