yotsuya:

This weekend, I played 1942 at my local arcade and really liked the 8-way stick that was on the machine. The performance on it was great, even though I could tell by the clicks that it was microswitch-based. Can anyone identify it? I've attached a photo.

Nephasth:

Looks kinda like Randy's Omnistick... kinda.

BadMouth:

It's a Suzo.

Probably Suzo STC 500 (sold by RandyT as the Omni-Stick).
Short throw makes it popular with the shmup crowd.


yotsuya:

Yeah, I thought it looked like the Omni-Stick (I checked GGG first before posting). He's all sold out. Any sources?

Edit... I see Andy has them. Might need to get one to play with!

BadMouth:

Emphatic did an article about mounting one in his candy cab:

GroovyGameGear's versa-ball shaft will fit it if you want a more traditional look.
