Making final equip plans for couple of bartop projects which will primarily be to play classics....
What are the options (vendors) for 4/8 way ball top joys that are to be mounted in wood panel?
I went with a 4 way ball top from Happs for my upright completed many moons ago. Mounted through 5/8 MDF panel its a little short but worked out okay.
Was searching here for other options/recommendations from others.
Is Ultimarc the only resource for switchable 4/8 way with red ball top and can the T-Stick Plus be purchased with a ball top handle or must it be seperate?
I look forward to any and all replies.

here's one from betson that some people are happy with:

the t-stick plus requires you to buy the ball-top handle seperately. the j-stick is also a reasonable alternative depending on your tastes.

I like the J-Stik the most, the T-Stik is good too. Both of these are meant to be mounted to metal tho, but you can route your wood down to 1/4" or so and they should be fine. The T-Stik plus has a slight advantage here, in that a 'long' balltop shaft is available. In practice it is not an awful lot longer than the J-Stik tho...
