Title: Screw needed for Journey / Midway Joystick
Post by: Luigi on May 13, 2014, 09:21:22 AM
Hi guys.


Somehow I have lost one of the screws in the Journey joystick. The guy who sandblasted the metal parts (I had left the screws inside to be sandblasted as well) shot one of them out of the base...my guess. We dug the sand but nothing  ::)

Normally I'm not very anal about screws. I simply use another. In this case it's not a metric thread so I need to cut a new thread. Having ONE different screw besides all other being original is lame. Replacing all the screws with metric screws is no option....yet.

So I'm looking for such a screw. With washer, but of course will take single screw as well :)

It's a #8-32x5/16 Slot Hex Head.


If you have one and are willing to sell, let me know :)

A pic from the actual screw would help. ;)

I was afraid someone would say that  ;D

I took a photo but forgot the sd-card at home  ::)

Aren't those the basic "pinball size" screws like you find about everywhere in US cabs ?

oops, totally forgot to post a picture  :oops:

I re-assambled the cab (minus the PCBs) and everything works so far. I will test the PCBs this weekend....very excited....but if it doesn't work, there are millions of possible places to look for the problem.

the size is def. Standard pinball. I'm not sure this length is standard. If you post a picture then I can check my stass.

Dirk just called me to tell me that he has just recently ordered a bunch of screw from a pinball shop  :?

I will take a look on my way home and see if he's got the right ones. If not, it's time to post a picture  :roll:


Thanks for all your help, guys!! :)
