You don't want that one, it's the prototype and not as high quality as the production ones. I opted to keep that one for myself, you guys will get the good ones...

Oscar, you mention the robotron sticks, would the Robotron replacement sticks be good:

The look good, I just wanted to confirm that a Robotron replacement stick would work. I found them on the site you sent me to, so I wasn't sure if there was a problem with these particular ones.

OSCAR:
Hmmm, they must have added those since I last looked there. Last time I looked they only had the 3.5" handles. Those appear to be the correct handles to fit in the P360 bases and they are advertised as Robotron replacements. I should have looked through their current products before I said they didn't carry them, I guess. :)
MrToasty:
Again, these are made by the same guy that sells replacements on Ebay. Look for seller n2new@aol.com or email him directly. He makes both the 3.5" and 4" and in a variety of colors.
Wienerdog:
Great. Thanks to both of you.
I think I have the same approach that you do Oscar. I like the P360 alot and plan to use it for all of my sticks (8 way fighter, Trigger stick (Raider Pro) conversions, and 4 way balltop with restrictor). It is expensive, the p360 seems like a versitile stick.
MT, I'll check out those auctions to see if I can get the sticks cheaper.
Homebrew:
Just thought i'd let you guys know, i ordered a pair of the robotron handles from arcadeshop.com and recieved them today. Shipping was fast, i ordered on Monday i believe. Great quality. They fit fine through my 3/4" CP(though i do have a 3/16" recess routed). I definetly prefer the feel of it for my 4 way joystick. Now i just need to install my 4-way restrictor for the complete feel.
