That True4 is definately cheaper than the JLW  :D

A Pacman control panel is wood with a metal overlay. The center is cut out with a metal joystick mounting plate.
Twisted quarter sells the mounts
this setup wont work for some installs but for my cp, it works because I have a metal overlay over a wood panel.
a nice thing with this setup is also that by using spacers you have a little tweak room for setting the shaft height.

Ah, I thought Pac-man was a metal CP, so that's where I was mistaken in the first place.

I thought the same thing, but I recently worked on one and found that out.

Hey Ginsu Victim, did you ever get a chance to try that true4-way?  How is it?  This is the stick ill most likely buy as long as its decent, which Im sure it is.  And also, does it seem like it could go in a 3/4" wood CP without any routering?

I haven't had the chance to install it, but just from checking it out so far, I like what's there. It will be fine in 3/4" wood for me, seems like it has a decent length to it. I won't know until I have the chance to install it.

Just looking at it and messing with it as-is, I think it's going to be an awesome stick.

Does anyone know if the ball top on the GGG True4 is swappable? Maybe it's my nerve-racking sweaty palms during game play, but I prefer the "rough" ball tops that you see on the Pac-Mans of yesteryear, and think they would provide a more uniform texture to my other batts planned on my project.

Does anyone (other than you Randy:)) have a review of the GGG true 4 way?  Specifically how does it compare to the JLW?  Did not see any in the review forum?

It's brand new. He revealed it, I do believe, here first. I'm seriously considering ordering one today.

Edit: Just placed the order. Hopefully I'll have a review up sooner or later.

Any review on this yet?  The Super with the GGG restrictor just isn't cutting it anymore and I'm either going with this or a jap stick.

Sorry, I've been too busy to make a new panel for it. It's just sitting on the shelf at the moment.
