Title: Where can I find replacement shaft for Galaga / Ms. Pacman joystick?
Post by: TheManuel on December 05, 2018, 03:41:34 pm
I red this thread (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=69234.0) and it looks like it would be difficult to remove the ball from the shaft without damaging it.  I wonder if the shaft itself with the ball can be purchased from somewhere.

I'm hoping to install a shaft with a larger ball top.  I've never liked how little the original one is, and would also prefer for the ball to be smooth and glossy -- come now, most of us are adults by now  ;)

The last post mentioned tornadoterrys as a source for the shafts but they don't seem to sell just the shaft anymore.

I bought just the shafts from Terry a few months ago as I wanted a black top for my Pac Pro.  Multiple color tops, although they aren’t shiny.  He’s a good guy, easy to deal with, just give him a call.
