Coin Control Inc Joystick 8-way to 4-way conversion

thingiverse

I have 3 Coin Control Inc. joysticks that I removed from my arcade machine when I converted it to MAME. It used to be a 3-player Combatribes machine. The joysticks look similar to Q*Bert joysticks, black tapered shaft with a black ball top, but they're 8-way sticks with a very tight response. Since my control panel has the ability to swap out joysticks and position them at 0 or 45 degrees ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4150103 ), I decided to mod one of these sticks to 4-way. They have an internal plastic sleeve with the 8-way actuator built into it. I copied the design and reduced the diameter of the actuator so it doesn't hit the diagonals. Now it looks and works very similar to a Q*Bert joystick.
