Could you put me down for Namco system 1 multi. Please thanks

Yes please Put me down for x 1 Thanks

Yeah, they have seen better days.

Quick update not to much report. The replacement springs for the centering mechanism have arrived. Thet are not an exact match for the originals and have slightly thicker wire diameter. Theh fit and are the right length and return the mechanism to centre point. The other job I have been...

I cant believe ive only just seen this thread! Fantastic work, looks like you've had rough time with the motors hopefully you are close to a solution now. Cheers Justin

And all done, just need the replacement springs to arrive for the centering mechanism.

OK on to the main event... I have taken half of the steering mechanism apart and cleaned with WD40 and brake cleaner. The rails have come up nice and clean the metal work has some corrosion. I may have a go at some electroplating to return the nickel finish?

Today's little job was to repair parts of the wiring loom. Looks to have been chewed through by mice. I also had to cut out pieces of semi damaged wire and splice in new ones. Here is the little pile chewed and broken pieces of wire I had to cut out.

Well I wasn't stuck for long... I found another grub screw on the bottom of the main shaft covered in grease. Once this was removed I could with the help of another person to lift both ends of the frame and move it upwards. However the flight stick was still connected to the steering...

Yes looks like a brass pin has been rammed in to bodge it up. Will probably have to drill it out.

How far have you gotten with it? ;)

OK I am officially stuck does anybody know what this is holding the shaft to the universal joint? Is it some kind of bodge?

Finding the correct match for this blue/gray metallic finish was a real pain. In the end I went with (Yamaha Bluish Grey Metallic 2) and is a very close match for the original color. A quick rub down with a wire wheel to get what was left of the old paint off. I will give this another coat...

Yeah I think your right, they diffantly look like quick blow to me with just single pieces of wire.

Hi all. So I need to replace the glass fuses in my ThunderBlade does anybody have any idea if these are fast or slow blow type fuses please The markings on the ends all say BS2950-S.F.C and the AMP rating, but no indication of the type.
