Tornado Terry's Ms. Pacman stick question
(1/7) > >>
GaryMcT:
I want a good 4-way for either a wood panel or a metal panel (not sure which yet. . . starting with wood at least).  I see that there are three options on Tornado Terry's site:

1) Ms Pac-Man stick for wood panels
2) Ms Pac-Man stick for metal panesl
3) Ms Pac Man joystick with adaptor plate & Hardware for wood or metal panels

If I get #3, is it a superset of both 1 and 2?  It really isn't for a Ms. Pac-Man machine, so I don't need the adaptor plate, etc., but I wouldn't mind paying a little bit extra so that the stick will work with either.

Does that make sense?

Thanks!
Gary

The difference in wood and metal is the length of the shaft cover it includes. The shaft itself is the same, you just place the clip in a different spot.

Option 3 you do not want.

Contact Terry and ask him to include both shaft covers. He did this for me.

For the life of me I can't find his email address on his page, even though it says in multiple places to email him about things.  (Good didn't find it either!)

I feel like a moron, but can you give me his email address? :)

Thanks!

I had a friend ask Terry the same question and here's the response that he got:
"You are looking at the retrofit kit and it does come with both spacers. The object is to let you know that it can be used on wood or for metal panels, meaning its not limited to either one as long as you are buying the retrofit kit. Some PAC MAN control panels are wood so you would have to have the long spacer. Ms pac man panels are metal so it uses the short one.

The Ms pac man stick purchased by itself (also available on my website) with no adaptor plate has to be ordered which ever way it needs to be.
It doesnt come both ways. This is the same for the auction I have on ebay since its not the retrofit kit.

The retrofit kit will soon be ordered the same way but will still let people know that it will work on wood or metal but they must specify. Its for informational purposes only. Basicly just so a customer who has a wood panel doensnt figure it wont work for a metal panel and skip it altogether. I hope that explains it. "

Was he putting it in a Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man machine, or a generic control panel?
