Looking for a Ms Pacman/Galaga type 4 way, BUT... I need it to be able to be mounted to an existing control panel. I'm using a HAPP 4 way ultimate right now (I believe that's what I bought) and I don't like it at all. Problem is, I need a ms pacman type (4 way red ball top that sits low and is very tight/short travel) that can be mounted correctly to the underside of a wood control panel.

You can see all views of my control panel here:

For reference and to see what I mean :) Thanx!

Happ Controls already manufactures the Ms Pac/Galaga short red ball joystick. Check out # 50-6084-1125R (around $20). It uses modern mounting bolt spacing pattern so it will directly interchange with the stick you are replacing.

I think that ones too short for wood though.  I believe Betson sells the Space Invaders/Qix one that is a little taller.  I think you have to call them to get it.

There is a seller on Ebay who sells the Ms Pacman/Galaga reunion joystick with custom made longer shafts.  These are designed to be used in a 3/4" wood panel.  I have one of these and am very pleased with it.  Here is a link to the "Buy It Now" auction:

The auction description says it uses a Happs SUPER base, but it is the same Super base used in the reunion stick (with a diamond shape restrictor cutout in the base).

That is probably just the Qix one.

You can also simply mount an unmodified Super handle onto a Reunion base, it works perfectly, and you can use it in a wood panel. You can't do it the other way around though, super handle fits reunion base, reunion handle DOES NOT fit super base.
