recommended <$25 4-way?

Necro:

Tornado Terry's is quite possibly the worst website I've ever seen...or close to it.  Are they still in business and selling things?

pinballwizard79:

It is a really bad website indeed

He still sells, yes.

Thanks, that looks to be what I'm in the market for. Just a couple ?'s
1. Would I be able to comfortably bottom mount this under 3/4"?
2. Can the ball top be changed (and if so what size/thread are we looking at)?
3. If no to either 1 or 2, any other recommendations?

Thanks again to everyone for the responses.

Bob's is worse and, just to be fair, both are good sellers.

The only sticks which one can mount "comfortably" in a 3/4" panel are going to be those with long shafts.  Long shafts usually mean long throws, which many tend not to associate with a good 4-way.  You would need to pocket out the underside to give you the length you want, unless you don't mind a short stick. The Pac-Man stick was pretty short, so you might be ok with it as is.

Not on these.  The Leaf-Pros are currently red only.

Not if the Leaf Pro is the kind of stick you are looking for.  There are pretty limited choices in that type of stick, but I do have some of the Zippyy and sanwa-inspired sticks, including an below-panel-switchable design, which can be configured for 4-way operation and have white balls as options.  But they play quite a bit differently.  Shoot me an email if you want one before I manage to get them on the store.
