But when you remove this restrictor you have second restrictor -> square, and you can rotate him 45 degrees for diamond. Otherwise you don't mount first restrictor then. |

Based on your application (Ms Pac) The original Pac stick is by far the best. IMO the closest second in original feel is the Wico 4-way leaf, only because it is leaf/grommet just like the Pac. The throw is not the same but it plays the Pac games quite well. A beat to death worn out stick wont cut it, for the Pac games try to find NOS, at least for the base and grommet on the Wicos. Third choice is the reunion, but it is definitely not the same as the original. I have no experience with the Sanwas, so ?? on those. |

Midway games was the OEM. Lots of Midway games of the era used the same sticks, but you have to be careful to find one from a 4-way game, not an 8-way game, as the 8-ways have a round restrictor plate instead of the diamond one you want.
