Just some quick questions about the ServoStik joystick I was hoping someone could help me with... 1. If I an using a 5/8" thick MDF board for the control panel, could I under mount these joysticks? Or would I have to mount them on the top and route out the area for the mounting plate to sit on? I didn't know if there were a longer shaft I would need or something, if that's even available? 2. Regardless of which method I would have to mount these, are there other balltop options out there that would be compatible? Ultimarc only seems to have the red balltop and then two oval tops. Ideally I would like a blue balltop but again, I just don't have a good understanding of which sticks/shafts might be compatible, if any. I might be interested in an illuminated joystick too, if those are available. So if anyone could help point me to the different sticks that would work, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! |

Depends on the over all height that you prefer. On my SI ptII cocktail they are mounted to non routed 1/2" plywood, the plastic control panel cup and the aluminum cpo which totals to about 3/4" and imo they end up at the perfect height for that purpose. You'll just have to make that call when you have one in hand. For the custom balltop route I think you only have 1 option. http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/hollow-shafts/733-magstik-10mm-stainless-steel-hollow-joystick-shaft.html good day. |

Thanks for the info. So a servostik uses the same shaft as a magstik plus? |

Derp!!! Got my ultimarc sticks mixed up :P. The balltop on the servostik unscrews and has an M6 thread (The balltop on the magstik does not unscrew) and that's where I confused myself. good day. |

Sorry I don't know these details yet. Is M6 a common thread or something? I thought I read the servostiks are like JLWs, so does that mean I could use something like this? http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/hollow-shafts/728-jlw-10mm-stainless-steel-hollow-joystick-shaft.html |
