Sega Saturn controller

Can translate the Japanese on this controller?

 

The upper line says "Analogue Stick". I can't read the kanji due to both resolution and missing skills

 

Anaroguwaisutitsuku? Analogue Wai Stick?

Kanji is too blurry to read. Although the last Kanji is Sen or 1 Thousand.

Looks like a Saturn Analogue Pad in a custom joystick box.

 

It says Sega Enterprises, I do believe.

Ahh, so the other one surfaces. Wondered when I'd see that again! Although.... I could've sworn it had the ball on it last time....

*EDIT*

I dunno what you guys are reading, but my one says:

アナログジヨイスチイツク

or

anarogu jioisutiishiku

It says - analogue joystick. Is there no Japanese word for that? Always made me wonder.....

 

Oh Ji, it does look like Wa though and it is hard to read. ^_^;

 

The Kanji part is "kanri bukken" - inventory item maybe?

Is that a prototype then?

 

Allegedly, yes. There are at least two of them. I have one, the other came initially from the same Sega source and was sold to a collector - possibly BuyAtari?

 

Polished to a shine and it would look like a possible production model.

 

I forget where it came form. I saw one sell in the 300 range on ebay but when I tried it was no-go. Save for the next 20 cent day I guess?

 

/me goes off to purchase some sheet aluminium, a second hand nights pad, an industrial analogue joystick, some black buttons and to borrow a Japanese dyno labeler.

 

Thats almost worth the effort.

If you want to do that make Vectrex sticks. You can sell a ton of those.

 

Haha! I even know a small electronics store that stocked old analogue sticks of the Vectrex era

Yours has that little bit of plastic on the bottom thing that mine doesn't, but still seems to be missing the ball. Mine looks like it snapped off, does yours?
