Nope, Andy = Andy Warne.
Snowbird has a mounting method for wood panels in this message: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=11929.msg93085#msg93085 (ignore the OSCAR-RandyT stuff in that particular thread).
I have the Prodigy joysticks which are based on this stick. They are excellent in 4-way. No chance of hitting diagonals, almost no dead spot on the diagonals. Very good gameplay.
The throw is short, but I like that. The throw is even shorter in 8-way mode. They work fine for 8-way shooters, probably not the best stick for 8-way fighters, but I don't play those.
Hope this helps.

I also like the short throw of these sticks. In fact I grew up with the home version (the magnificant Suzo Competition Pro) BUT !!!!! My Competition Pro was a really early version with leafs instead of microswitches.
This has a very short throw and travel but without the terrible microswitch clicks and "pressure point".
People claimed the leafs were wearing out easy, maybe on arcade machines, not on (heavily played) home games. I still got this stick to day, and it works as brilliant as it did about 20 years ago when I bought it :)
Sooooooo....my ideal would be a Suzo "feel" joystick (short throw !) with leafs....or....
maybe that the Happ P360 would fit my needs ? How's the "throw"on this thing ? And the travel ?? I hate LOOOOOONG travels because, quite simply, it makes your responses too slow...

I'm also a big fan of the Suzo 500s. I think a lot of people are put off by their appearance but they are very good for game playing once you get used to them.
Suzo actually sells an "inductive" version of the joystick which might fit your requirements.

I wonder if Randy, Andy or Ponyboy would consider stocking them as it's very difficult to order directly from Suzo these days.

Thanks to all of you! Very usefull info, thats what I needed. For some reasons (read booze) I didnt started the CP yesterday. Ive read before not to drink the night before to start... seems true :) I wont again.
And about the short throw, thats why I want to make this one my 4-way. That brings quick response the games like pacman. By the way, by looking at the joystick it seems to me that the handle cannot be replaced. Is that true ? Or if we can is it only by the same one ?

Hey Grasshopper! In the picture you sent that is the plate/base that come with the joystick right ? Because I heard that there is as well a mounting plate for this joystick. This is not the mounting plate dimension right ?
