I used to build/repair cabinets all the way through hs and college. I might draw some fire for this but the JAMMA standard was wired for microswitch sticks with U/L/D/R on each. If we were going for an older machine I used leaf sticks, if not I used the standard micro switches. The happ sticks where you can change from 4 to 8 way are great. At one point I had 2 milk crates of sticks, one of leaf and one of microswitch sticks. Game got whatever I had going at the time. Just my position, but whatever was cheapest was what went into most games, or at least that's what I saw. Far as the e-sticks....most of what I did was conversion so the holes were already there for the carriage bolts. Not like it was a big deal to drill out 4 holes. I think I might still have my drill jig siting around here somewhere. Those older 4 point mounting sticks are designed to take a lot of punishment. I don't really know much about the e-sticks. The fact that you're using the e sticks though means you need to cut the panel a little bit. |

im gonna go ahead with the e sticks for now, im gonna make a practice cp with some plywood laying around. the install is pretty seemless just drill a 1 and 1/8 inch hole just like the pushbuttons and insert it and tighten the nut from the bottom to the underside of the cp. easy enough i suppose. i was a little concerned with the durability of the e stick however worst case scenario i build a new cp. |

the u360 sticks are by far the way to go if you dont want to have a dedicated 4 way. they work amazingly well as 4 and 8 way sticks. if you decide to go the cheaper route, i can tell you that the J-Stick makes a very nice 4 way stick. |
