There is light at the end of the tunnel. :)

I at least got to spend some quality time in the back yard with the drill press over the weekend.

The difference is the shaft cover length and where the e-clip goes. Other than that, it's the exact same shaft and base.

GaryMcT:

I got the Pac-Man stick (original one, not the Tornado Terry one).  I haven't had a chance to put it in a control panel yet.

I get the feeling that if someone were to take the 4-way restrictor on a U360 (that is bottom mounted in 3/4" MDF/plywood and with a smaller-than-usual balltop) and somehow coat the part of the restrictor with rubber (think chocolate dipped, but with rubber instead :) ), it would feel a lot like the Pac-Man stick.

Does the Tornado Terry stick have the rubber-coated feeling of the original?  I still haven't ordered one.

Is there any sort of brush-on material that is liquid and drys to something like the rubber on one of the original sticks?


GaryMcT:

I wonder if any of these could be used to coat a restrictor in a flexible rubber?

Also, I suppose you could put a rubber ring of some sort around the joystick where it touches the restrictor to get the same effect.

No, it's just a modified Happ Super.
