Super Punch Out!! Arcade "Ducking Pull" 5-Way Joystick Conversion Bracket

This is used to convert an original Punch Out!! arcade joystick into a 5-way joystick, used for Super Punch Out!! The original kits are very difficult to find, and expensive when they do pop up... and Mike's Arcade reproduced the kit several years ago, but sold out, and again, are hard to find and expensive. So I decided to make my own, for just a few bucks, and a little bit of time.

Super Punch Out!! was an upgrade kit for the Punch Out!! arcade game by Nintendo. Rather than simply creating new fighters, they also changed the gameplay a bit by adding the ability to duck, rather than simply being able to block, dodge, and punch. This involved changing the joystick for one that could pull to duck ("Ducking Pull", referring to the label on the overlay).

This part is a bracket that holds the microswitch for the "pull" direction. Also needed is a knob, or other bell shaped object to attach to the bottom of the joystick shaft, to press the microswitch, as well as the microswitch itself, and misc. hardware (screws, etc).

Instructions for the entire modification are available on the KLOV forums: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showpost.php?p=2967987&postcount=24
