Sinistar: Any more difficult to maintain than usual?

[courtesi96]

I understand that this coin-op had a 49 way digital joystick. Is this something that will be difficult to replace as time goes on? Anything else out of the ordinary that needs to be looked at?

[Flack]

Difficult no, more expensive, probably. There are ten or twelve games out there that use 49 ways that there are still parts available for them (Blitz and the newer Gauntlets also use them, I believe.)
