and for the 5th stick (dedicated 4 way):  The Happs Ms-Pac reunion.  Which I guess you are refering to this stick http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/5060841125r.htm

But can that be mounted in MDF?  it says only metal cp's?

The stick I linked to before, and the one markrvp linked directly above, are both the same stick- and it's the adjustable-handled version of the Ms. Pac / Galaga reunion stick, for use in thick or thin panels.  Somebody around here got one with a non-adjustable, tall handle from Betson- they sell it as a Qix stick, if I remember right.

Hee hee, they are over $50 once you put repro Wico handles on them. Still, they are the best, and that is what I run in my good cabinet.

I think you'll find it's the Super handle that fits that base, not the Competition.

Also, stock Super Handles work on the Reunion stick as well, which means you can match them up with your other 2 (or 4) joysticks and have them all look the same.
