MS PACMAN JOYSTICK FIX

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade (More info?)

I have a Ms Pacman cocktail table and the joysticks have a lot of travel in
them. (Not as tight as I remember them to be, way back in the days !! )Can
these be repaired or do I have to buy new ones. I'd like to keep the
original if possible. Does anyone have advice to give ? Also my counter
does not work . Suggestions? Thanks for all replies .

go to ebay and buy the replacement grommets for about 10 bucks each.
spray the joystick shafts (after you remove them from the game) with
some sort of rust solvent/penetrant to make removing the old grommets
easier. did you check the wiring to the counter to make sure it was
hooked up correctly? try wiring in a spare counter to see if it isn't
the unit that failed. Thats about all the help I can give on coin
counters. I usually pull these from games.
