Title: Who makes these joystick aluminum bat tops?
Post by: Katana Man on October 20, 2018, 12:28:38 am

I bought these aluminum bat tops for my arcade machine many years ago and I can't find the company who makes them.  Does anyone know? I really love the feel and design of them and want to purchase more.

Didn't Slik Stik makes those originally?

Not them.  If you look at my pictures, you can see there are 2 double lines in the handle.  Not completely smooth.

There is a good chance that it might have been Slik Stik.

Ah I see it now, on my PC. I was looking at those pictures on my phone before.
