Pac Stick Advice Please
« on: June 05, 2019, 04:23:13 pm »
I'm back in the market for some Pac-type joysticks and I'm not familiar with the quality of what is available.

I have a couple of custom built wood control panels and I'm looking for a long stick 4/8 way Pac-Style assembly. (I prefer the original leafs, but since they are no longer available I'll have to settle for micros).

Even with long sticks I know I'll still have to use a router to decrease the CP thickness to seat the joystick bases.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

What do you mean leafs aren't available?  Wicos are in at least five places. Where do you think the collectors get their stuff? And so on......  I recommend trying a Wico, proceed from there.
