Anyone ever seen this joystick before?

[Red 5]

Picked this one up at a Tag Sale today.

 

 

Still have to do some (serious) cleaning and then test it, but I have never seen one like it before.

 

It is a High Score HS-20.

 

If you can't read the buttons, this is how they lay out from left to right...

 

Manual Fire

Auto Fire Indicator (light)

Coleco - Atari VCS (can be used for Coleco or Atari with the flick of a switch?)

Left Hand / Right Hand - cool feature so you can flip the joystick over if you are a lefty !

Auto Fire Atari VCS (guess this option doesn't work on Coleco.)

 

I really hope this sucker cleans up nice and plays well. It is heavy and the stick is nice and tight.

Here's hoping.

 

I've seen a lot of sticks before, but nothing like this one.

Is it rare or just something that has eluded me?

Very nice.

 

Here's his little brother:

Very cool.

 

I wonder if mine should have a button on the stick.

Doesn't look like it should, but maybe...

Here is your HS-20 with its black cloth carrying bag and here is the HS-15 with its box. there is another HS-15 CIB for sale on ebay, but the seller wants over $120.00 for it.

So I am missing a button for the stick.

 

Oh well.

 

Considering I got it in a box with a Telegames Pong and other Pong-ish games for $2.00, I am not complaining.

 

It cleaned up nice and works great so I am happy.

 

Still contemplating keeping it or putting it in the old trade box.

I had one of these, but got rid of it. It's kind of interesting, but it had to be the worst controller I've ever used.

Never tried Le shhhStick, then...I guess

I have a mystery stick, too, can anyone tell me what kind of system it goes to?

The bottom control thing is a potentiometer of sorts with the knob removed. The top is a joystick.

I could be wrong, but I think that's a TI-99/4a joystick.

 

I have a few of that look a lot like those with my Texas Instruments computer. (Which is now in a box that I will eventually be getting rid of.)

That's a Gemeni stick missing the knob. Check my post here if you want to see it advertised way back when

Here you go, its the Dual Command Advanced controller from Coleco, it looks like the center sticker and the control knob came off.

I must be the only person here who actually enjoyed using one of those things. The Wico Video Command was terrible in comparison (waits patiently for the fall out)

That's definitely it, thanks! It was in a box of stuff I got, it looked like somebody's unfinished experiment. I'm gonna try to repair it.
