ball top joystick!

Does anyone know of anywhere (besides Ultimarc), shipping too high $12.00 shipping on a $15.00 stick? I don't think so, that one can get a ball top joystick? I'm looking to install one of these as my 4 way stick on my CP.

Happcontrols sells an excellent 20 year pac-man/galaga replacement stick. Unfortunately it's only for use as a direct replacement on the metal CP that that game uses.

I'm using a cp with a thickness of 7/8" including 1/8" lexan.

You could always cut a hole in the wood and mount the stick directly to the lexan. I've also seen people use mounting plates like Oscars for his restrictors plates to mount joysticks.

Happs also has the minimum $25 order. Have you checked Bob Roberts site? If he doesn't have it he can probably get it for you and I've heard his shipping is reasonable with no min. order.

You can buy a height adjustable ball top handle for a Happ Super or Competition joystick from a guy who regularly advertises on Ebay. His email address is n2new@aol.com.

They are expensive. However judging from previous posts the quality is excellent.
