| Found: a good 4-way joystick for a wood CP |

All, about a month ago I ordered a trackball from Betson and while on the phone I asked the rep if he had any 4-way joysticks like the Happ Ms Pac-man/Galaga reunion stick. He told me that they had just received "approval" from Namco on their own version of this stick. Then...he said that they also have a Qix/Space Invaders 4-way stick. I said "What is the difference?" He said "Oh the shaft is taller" "How much taller?" I asked "Not sure" he said. Long story short, I said what the hell and ordered the "longer" joystick. Since my control panel was going to be wood, I knew the Pac/Galaga stick wouldn't work well. I'm happy to say the 4-way Qix/Space Invaders stick from Betson works great. Mounted on my 3/4" CP, the ball sticks out about as far as the Pac/Galaga would out of a metal CP. I'll take some pictures this weekend of the CP so you can see what I'm talking about. This could be a great option for those looking for a dedicated 4-way in a wood CP. -Todd |

i would appreciate that ;) i am trying to establish a height for the ball tops i am making. if you could also measure the height from the top of the wood too, it would be very helpful. is the base similar to the reunion sticks, more wico-like, or is it more like the happs super/comps style? |
