Larger Replacement Ball Top MS Pac-Man/GALAGA Stick??

Original Pac sticks were pretty small. What you remember might have been a Pac where the operator replaced the joystick with a Wico ball-top?

OK, I got inspired.  I got out a reunion and it measures 1.23", so it is a bit smaller.  I suppose a new ball would be cool, especially since it has a weird color/texture.  But more importantly, I think the biggest issue is the shaft.  I would like a black sleeve to fit over it, so it looks more like the real deal.  Anyone know where to get that?

Here's some pics of them side by side...

Rick, just paint the shaft if that bothers you, a sleeve could get in the way of things.

I don't think the top on the Reunion stick unscrews. It seems like I would have noticed that seeing as how I have owned some of those sticks for at least 5 years.

sorry, i forgot to mention that you have to get shafts from tornadoterrys.com. these now come with a small ball top, but the shafts are threaded and the ball tops can be replaced with larger ones, as described above.

Yes, they do.  I am certain of it.  I have replaced them before.  They are on there pretty good though.
