Is Mike's DK replacement joystick decent?

:)pcolson the long stick is 3 5/8". It also has a larger ball with a set screw. I sent blkdog7
a pm telling him this.

My buddy just bought a DK Jr. machine today. We took apart the joystick and it's definitely longer. I have to admit I didn't measure it but it's noticeably longer when playing. And it sits just enough above the dust washer so it can never touch it. His little area on the bottom where the "C-Clamp" goes in is also tooled differently. It looks more finished than mine if you ask me.
His ball is also held on by a allen screw that is seen on the side of the ball. My ball is clean looking and is threaded on. Honestly, I think I like my shorter stick better but wouldn't mind a longer stick that doesn't have the allen screw. Do they all have the allen screw????

You might get a long stick and try switching ball tops or just filling set screw with something that can be removed if needed.

So, all the DK sticks have allen screws?
jimkirk:
Not positive but I had 3 long shaft joysticks and all had set screws
