PS. Swappable panels is way easier than rotatable. And you won't get stuck with not quite the layout you want.

I think I'm too far down that road now ... ;)
Just seen this tho: http://www.arcadeshop.de/Miscellaneous-2-Way-Williams-Reprostick_1034.html
Bit expensive though, but could fit one on the left side of the panel as you suggest. Hmm..
jimmer:
That's not available anymore.
I'll be selling complete 2way sticks, and an upgrade kit for worn out defender sticks in about a months time. So try to pick up a used one if you are in a rush... ahh just spotted you are in the UK, so that won't be easy.
Can you wait a month?

Ah good to hear - yeah I can wait a month - so you're manufacturing a repro defender/williams stick? same dimensions, switch mechanism etc as the originals? Sounds great.
jimmer:
I'm doing a bearing kit to go in worn out originals, it replaces the need for the reproduction metalwork that's available already.
Or you can use it with that repo metalwork to make up a repro stick. I will have supplies of leaf springs and leaf contacts and handles.
And I'm doing a new stick (complete) that uses the same switchgear and will fit an original panel, but doesn't look like the original.
The kit/stick is called 'Zeroplay', and the best current player just used it to post 1M on max difficulty.
Saneless:
I can't be the only one amused that jimbo and jimmer are the names of the guys going back and forth.
