Stargate CP with some modifications

Hey all.

Haven't posted in a while, had to put cab plans on hold.
I am however in the planning stages of a CP and need some advice.

Basically my design will be a Stargate controller with a 4-way insted of a 2-way, and on the opposite CP side a trackball.
I can't seem to find anything in these forums about mounting a Ms. Pac/Galaga reunion stick, so it must be a royal pain to mount in a wood panel?
If it's too much of a hassle then I will go with a Wico 4-way (hopefully easier to mount in wood?).

Any help is much appreciated.

It's more work than other sticks, but it sure is doable. See this thread: Mounting Happ Galaga/Pac 4-way in Wood Panel?

You could of course also use the mounting plate.

paigeoliver:

If you are going with the Stargate theme the use the Ms. Pac reunion stick, as it is closer in ball size and height to the Stargate stick than the WIco 4-way is.

skorch:

Thanks so much for those links, guess I couldn't find them cause I was typing Ms. Pac/Galaga reunion.

I'm going to order from Bob Roberts when I figure out which buttons to order, any suggestions for those?

paigeoliver:

Stargate panels had leaf buttons, order leaf buttons. Get the original colors while you are at it. I have a Stargate panel kicking around in my basement, I could check the button colors for you, although you could probably look it up faster than waiting for the two weeks inbetween now and the next time I will have net access.
