New Product: Versa49 (TM) Balltop Replacement Shafts for HAPP 49-Ways
RandyT:
Ok, no surprises here. This one's been a long time coming (I need to find a machinist who doesn't have health problems, but they probably aren't available in that variety :D )
These are made specifically for the HAPPTM version of the Midway 49-Way joysticks. They will not work with the older original Midway sticks unless the centering grommet is drilled out (hard to do with any amount of precision.)
Some features:
* All stainless steel with polished upper.
* 2 height settings on these to allow for metal or wood panel installation.
* Narrower shaft to help reduce panel mounting hole sizes.
* Beautiful Custom 1 7/16" Translucent Ball-Tops or standard 1 3/8" dark red opaque (not shown)
* Extra shaft left at bottom for attaching rotary mechanism (may not be compatible with current setup. Yet to be investigated)
* Far better precision than original shaft. These fit snugly to prevent slop from indicating unwanted movement.
Quick word of advice; If you use a rotary switch on the bottom of these or any shaft, be sure to lube the inner metal part of the "grommet" with some white lithium grease. Otherwise, the constant spinning of metal against metal will eventually cause enough slop to affect performance. You may want to do it with the 49-ways, even if you don't have the rotary modification. It's that important.
Price: $14.95 each and includes choice of ball color.
Special offer to those who have already purchased a 49-way from GroovyGameGear: $12.95, 1 for each stick purchased. Ordering instructions are at the store.
Pre-Modified "Versa49-Way Sticks" will be available soon.
Thanks for looking,
RandyT
