I'm leaning towards one of Tornado Terry's Reunion sticks.

They are the standard Happ Reunion base, but he is selling them with longer sticks, so that they will fit properly in wood CP's.

you can get them on ebay.

I'd also recommend an original WICO 4way leaf joystick... the absolute BEST 4way IMHO.  I've used the reunion as well and liked them, but I have one coming in the next few days so that I can really give it a good testing ;)
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

The seller's username is tornadoterrysdot on ebay.
He doesn't have the specific one I mentioned up at that moment, but usually sells them at $19.99 + shipping.
He does have one listed that is just like it, but includes the adapter plate to attach it to a stock Pac cabinet.
You might fire him off an email, if you're interested.

I use one of these, and it's generally awesome.  My only problem is that it's a very large joystick for a game like Ms. Pac Man (plus speedup cheat) which needs a small agile joystick.

I believe the longer shaft is created by way of an extension piece, not an entirely different shaft.  I would send Terry an email and see if he could sell them seperately.
