80s KiD Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hey guys how are you all Thought you might be interested in my IL EuroStick review Enjoy You can soften the "springyness" of those joysticks by switching the Cherry's to "soft-touch" Cherry's. Steve at Austin Amusements has them for sale. They feature a Blue actuator and require half the force. But IMO, you can't go past a good set of Australian made MCA joysticks with fresh Swann leaf switches. Such a short throw when compared to Seimitsu, Happ Comps, Sanwa etc. I guess it comes down to personal preference. Good stuff on the video, I'm sure that people will find it very insightful.

I've tried a number of things, clipping the new switches, bending them, numerous brands. MCA's only really work well with Swann branded switches, Cherry D44's (Black actuator) and the aussie made GMA's. All of which are hard to purchase brand new these days. Also, another thing to keep in mind with MCA's, the grommet needs to be nice and tight. You can purchase brand new grommets from coin play in Melbourne, and brand new MCA's from arcade gaming Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcadeObsessed Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 No way Coin Play in Wheelers Hill, I have dealt with Gauna quite a few times he is fantastic, I have been seeing him for absolutely years, very informative knows, what he is talking about, and thats where I actually buy the MCA's from He's actually done quite a lot of work on that cabinet too He actually part design those MCA's too there's a bit of history for ya.... Really happy with the service You're totally right about the bladed microswitch it's a very hard to find ones that are nice and stiff I have completely gutted an MCA before and there's quite a few little eclips and rubber grommet that needed cleaning it came out really well once I did that Thanks again man you've been really helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
