Recommended Posts

after searching long and hard and buying some parts that do not work/fit, I had a batch of custom springs made up so you don't have to cannibalize an atari 2600 cart with a spring loaded door for a replacement anymore to do a repair!

These are an exact match to the original springs, no trimming required. I am offering these for sale while they last in a "handsome" hand assembled parts bag with header:

4 replacement springs in each packet, enough to repair 2 joysticks.
Order enough to have a display copy ;)
Prices include postage!:
$5 inside US and territories use this link: https://www.paypal.me/vectrex/5
$6 international use this link: https://www.paypal.me/vectrex/6
if you want multiples you can edit the amount sent from the page you are send to, just click on the dollar amount.

I've shared this in the Color Computer forum as well, in case somebody might want to try to mod a CoCo joystick with these springs.

I used the stick from a Color Computer joystick to replace a broken Vectrex stick; it's a perfect drop-in replacement and they seem to use the same pots and gimble assembly...only the CoCo stick's pots don't have springs.

Payment sent! My springs are in good shape still, but you never know when you might need a replacement. Thanks for offering these and in such a professional/easy to checkout manner! :)

You are THE man :)

 

Many thanks for getting these made.

 

great praise from one of the OG Vectrex Scene's most valuable non-game homebrew creators.

 

Thank you, Richard.
