Technical Area / Re: SW Yoke microswitch screws

Alternatively you may be able to use these instead :     

Look under UNC Socket Cap Screws.

2-56   3/8   9.53   3/8   9.53       5   MF-SC223    £0.85   
25   MF-SC223/25    £3.50   


You'll need the required tool to mount it though, he sells good and cheap sets too but do check if the correct size is in the set...

they look a good alternative and i may already have a hex key that's 2mm already  8)

cheers for that matey,tbh not all the screws were there (8 in total for both sets of switches on both 'grips) i had only 1 screw holding each switch in place and 1 of them snapped whilst trying to unscrew it  :'( but i would like to replace the missing screws

I assumed they'd be imperial threads with them being the age that they are.Its not that i can buy metric ones as the thread in the Yoke itself is obviously Imperial as well

Where's the best place to get a set of the very small screws that hold the microswitches in place inside the Yoke controller ? i assume they won't be metric size with them being 'old' so to speak.....

Russ... ;D

High Score - Are you the best ... around? / Re: [Star Wars]
« on: July 07, 2012, 07:31:17 PM »
Sorry to drag up an old thread but just thought i'd post a few photo's of my score on Starwars (i'm the proud owner of an upright now  8) and been playing like mad to get my groove back  :D...anyway i stripped my Yoke down last weekend for re-powdercoat and thought i'd just have one more blast....finally found my groove and came up with this healthy respectable score (well not a bad score for not really playing the game within the last 25 years or so  8)




setting were 6 shields with 1 shield bonus and set on hardest difficulty setting

@level42....hope i can brag a bit now i've got some photo's up  :D  ;)

Impressive :)

40 foot containers are SO large once you step in them. To compare, I once moved house and (almost) everything we owned fitted in a 20' (that was long before I collected).

Good to see you had a lot of help, can you put some avatars to the faces ? (I know Alpha1 and Rav of course)..

I assume you "filled up" the container with some material ? Else stuff will get shifted/thrown around for sure during the trip....

Rumor has it that one of the left behind cabs has my name on it :):):):):):)

That ugly bugger second from the left is me  :lol:

i watched a youtube video a few days ago on how to install the SW/ESB kits and it was fairly easy to follow.Can't remember the name of who did the video (think it was some American guy if i remember rightly ?) but the way he explained it,it was so straight forward  8)

Yes i know its a big ask but does anyone have one that's in good working order they wish to part with ?

I'm 100% in the market for one and do have good money waiting for the right one.I'm not soley after a Amplifone one just as long as it plays good and very little electrical work is needed to get it working (not that clued up on electrics tbh  :oops:)

I've put this wanted up on J+ and UKVAC as well.Reason i have only put it up on here is that alot of you guys seem to be situated outside of the UK and i'm not sure weather you guys will ship over to the UK ?

Tonight we will go to a concert, where the music of Star Wars and other classic movies from the 80's (E.T., Indianan Jones, etc.) will be played by a Symphonical Orchestra.There will be also a large projector with scenes from SW and a live lightsaber fight.
I will try to make some sneaky pics, videos. ;)

'Business' Area : Buy/Sell/Trade / Vectrex
« on: February 07, 2012, 12:07:02 AM »
For sale my boxed Vectrex games console.The instuctions for the machine are there also the screen cover for the built in game Minestorm.I only have the top portion of the polystyrene 'inner packaging'.

Its in perfect working order and comes with 5 games all boxed which all have their own instructions and screen covers.

The only issue is with the joystick.Its does work but it feels like that its come slightly 'loose' from inside.The joystick does 'angle towards' the left when not in use and it sounds like a fixing screw of sorts has come loose and its not holding the joystick 'central' so to speak.You can see what i mean in the 4th picture down.Apart from that it does work perfectly

Not really keen in shipping outside of the UK tbh you guys (sorry i know there seems to be a lot of members that live outside of the UK on the forum as well)

anyway its up for £130 posted.Paypal gift please...












A small vid clip of the game,
















If your not sure about the Gift option with paypal i'll understand as i am a noob on here and no one has bought anything from me so don't really no me.You can add another £5 for 'peace of mind' to cover yourself if you wish,but i can assure any potential buyer i'm 100% trustworthy with all my sales (i'm a Moderator on the BMX forum 'Burnerworld' under the same name 'Russ J')

First post in thread and then PM please

Russ...Thumbs Up
