I'm making a MAME using an old pacman arcade cabinet.  I'm working on the control panel, and I need to find a joystick that i can mount underneith the panel.  The panel has 3/4th'' wood.  I don't have a router or anything.  Is there any joystick available with a longer shaft that i could just mount on the wood that wouldn't involve me using a router?

massive88:

Any non-japanese stick should mount fine in 3/4" wood afaik.

ArtMAME:

Happ Supers are my stick of choice for my MAME setups.

Happ Universals are real nice too if you like the action a little stiffer.



2PacMan:

I have one, can't remembe the name, it's one you can change from 4 to 8 way on top, and the shaft was so short that it i mounted it under the wood, the stick had to go through the 3/4 wood and then the small metal control panel that not much was sticking out from the top, it was too short.

Evil Ivan:

You could also get a different stick to put in the base, depending on what you have of course. I picked up some last week that were at least half an inch longer than the bat-handle my competitions came with.
