Can you get them with a restrictor plate that rotates to switch from 4 to 8 way operation?

Of course, after I pay $19 for mine...

If they were readily available, I would consider one for my next cab (not clear this time though).

I had one (Sorry Tahnok) and just couldn't embrace the feel of the restrictor in 8-way mode. They are plenty cool looking. For a $10 price point, these would be great for a bartop, or something that did not need active 4-way to 8-way switching.

They're nice sticks, surprisingly well made, and they actually feel slightly better than my Seimitsus IMHO. But the difficulty of switching from 4 to 8 way (a problem the Seimitsus share btw) puts me off slightly. However I might buy a couple more for $10 if I had other things to buy at the same time.

Any chance to get pictures posted?  I'm really interested in what these things look like.

I can also attest that these sticks are pretty nice.

The balltops are switchable if you did get tired of one color. They are swappable with balls from Sanwa, Seimitsu, and Jiffy  ;D

I was all ready to buy a pair for my NEO-GEO until I found out that red isn't offered. :(
