I agree, this vinyl wrap sucks. For now I'll take it off and will probably end up just keeping the black painted edges.

Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for a good deal. Unfortunately these things are not as plenty over here in the Netherlands.
Mike A:
I will keep an eye out for the original stick. If I find one here, if you buy it, I will pay to ship it to you.
If you want a leaf stick at a more reasonable price, Arcadeshop.com sells reproduction Wico 4 way sticks. They are 40 bucks.
Same deal. If you buy it I will pay to have it shipped to you.

This ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- matters to me.

Thanks, Mike! I see some Wico's for sale in Cyprus, but this cab uses some weird 7cm*4.7cm mounting hole pattern. Don't you think it would be kinda bad to go melting original Wico plastic to make it fit? We'll work something out.

In other news, my package with all new caps for the gameboard, and a fancy Mean Well switching power supply with 105C caps just came in. This thing is gonna work great :D
Mike A:
It figures they would make up their own hole pattern. :banghead:
I know there are places that sell adapter plates, but I don't know what patterns they use. You concentrate on the important stuff and I will look for a solution to the minor joystick issue.

Worked really well for me. They fit every stick I have tried, Japanese or American.
