Colecovision Flashback Arcade Ball Joystick Mod!

Hey all,

Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere else in the forums...

 

Willie, of the Colecovision Podcast (and so many other podcasts) posted the following on Youtube:

My CVFB has seen very little action since I purchased it. Like so many others, I just couldn't deal with the low-seated door knob.

After seeing Willie's post, I decided to give this mod a try. It turned out great! It's just the right height and feels very comfortable.

 

Thanks Willie!

StephenJ

As seen in other threads...I decided to add a little more resistance to the control-stick (ball) by adding some foam to the mechanism (see photos). I decided to not use any glue and see if it holds up. I like the feel. I used a very soft foam so there isn't a huge change, but enough to make it feel a bit higher on the quality scale.

 

For what it's worth,

StephenJ
