Title: Replacement ball top stick?
Post by: MameMaster! on November 04, 2004, 04:11:01 pm
....does anyone know if there's a ball top stick I can use in place of the "bat" style stick in an XArcade?

Ideally I would like to keep this easy and pop out the XArcade handle and replace it with a ball top.

Any suggestions? (other than the obvious....dump the XArcade stick!!!)......

 ???

Hey, you stole my answer!  ;)

Isn't the X-Stick a direct knock off of a Happs Super? I think Slik-Stik sells replacement Super handles with a ball top, including the sweet sweet stainless steel ones.

you need to look for ball top sticks made for the happ super.  i dont think these are factory made, so you are most likely looking at a custom job.  make sure that the smaller part of the shaft has a diamter of 10 mm.

tom, the tron repro guy might have something:
