Ms Pac reunion stick = Super base?

Just looking at the exploded views on the Happ site and this appears to be the case.
Can anyone with both confirm it for me?

They are not exactly the same.  The reunion has a diamond shaped opeining that restricts the movement while the super is circular.

For all intents and purposes though, it's a super base.  I believe a regular Super stick will fit the reunion base as well.
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

Cool, thanks. I'll grab one and try it out.
I route my tops to accept the Supers but some people really want to feel that 4-way pattern, understandable of course. I hate having to suggest Ultimates just to get that 4-way restriction. This might be an easy solution if the mounting is the same.

Yea, the dimensions are the same on the bases.  Keep in mind that the Ms. Pac sticks have to be top mounted; the shaft on these is very short. 
I want my own arcade controls!

yes, they are very short.  I plan to use a different shaft on mine... maybe a Slikstik lighted handle.

You can get the Reunion stick with a taller handle for bottom mounting.  Ebay seller tornadoterrysdot has them.  You can also get them from Betson.  Note- these sellers do not call it the Ms Pac/Reunion stick, as that's the Happ name for it.  But the stick they sell is essentially the same.

Thanks, good to know. Even top-mounted they look short to me.
Terry is a stand-up guy. So does he sell just the stick or do you buy the whole thing?

You have to buy the whole thing.  I contacted him a while back and he wouldn't sell me just the longer stick....

.... or myabe my memory is playing tricks on me.  Either he wouldn't sell me just the longer stick, OR it was going to cost me almost the same amount as buying an entirely new reunion stick.
No crap, don't put your kids in a real fridge.
