Title: GGG vs Ultimarc Joystick undermount kit?
Post by: darthcommanderman on March 23, 2016, 01:50:48 am

I'm doing some more ordering and I found that GGG's "Joystick Mounting Kit - No Visible Hardware" seems to be a steal compared to Ultimarc's "Joystick Mounting Kits".

Ultimarc's price is $9 USD for what appears to be a set for 1 joystick, where GGG's price is $4.95 for 2 joys, plus $2 for another 2 joys.

So Ultimarc = 9*4 = $36 USD where GGG is $6.95??? Is there something I missed? I noted the Ultimarc has some washers included but this seems like a huge difference just for that.

Does anyone have a compelling reason why Ultimarc's kit is worth the $$$?

Thanks!
D.

The Ultimarc stuff does maybe look a little nicer, but yeah, Randy's kit will do the same job for a lot less money.

Thanks for the answer to this mundane question! I'll try to be more interesting. At least I searched this down first to avoid wasting time.  May this help someone else too!

And,  May the Force be with you, always..
