Here's an older picture of my Original Pacman stick installed.  Sorry for the poor picture, the stick is actually taller than it appears in the picture.

If horizontal space is an issue, you can rotate the thing by 90 degrees and mount it that way. The joystick doesn't know the difference as long as it's wired properly.

Thanks for the pic.  Man it looks cool.  The only issue with rotating the stick is that the origional is about 5.36" so I've read, and I've only got about 5" of space on the cocktail so I think I'd have to snip the edges.  Do you find that the original stick needs a lot of maintanance?

Thanks!   Actually the stick has been very low maintenance. I haven't had to do anything to it.  When I originally bought it, I didnt know what to expect, so I bought a new centering grommet and new leaf switches.  I've had it installed for about 2 years and I haven't had to change to the new parts yet.  Guess the older stuff is built pretty good!  Not to mention the stick is pretty dang old.  It must be at least 20 + years!   Looks like it still has all the original parts!

I don't know if the stick I have in my Pac Man is THE original, but it's definitely AN original. It works great, too.
