Reunion Pacman Joystick Question

The only "4-Way" we offer which will fit directly is a Happ Super with one of our 4-way restrictors. But if you are looking for a ball-top, you'll want to go a different route. The OMNI2 should bolt up to your existing pattern, but it is 4-way/8-way switchable, rather than a dedicated 4-way. If you want the same style stick locked to 4-way, email me. There are a couple of other good options, but you would need to modify your panel for those.
How deep is the recess for the stick? If you still have a 7/8" thick panel after the recess, that's pretty thick for a short shaft length. Then again, PacMan had a stubby little stick, so it will probably be up to your personal preference as to what is long enough.

If you don't have visible bolts then a Happ universal will install in the old joystick hole and it is one heck of a good 4-way.

The additional shaft length will increase the throw of the stick, making it tend to feel sloppy for games which require quick changes in direction. Even tweaking the

Yeah, this is exactly what I experience with my too-long 4-way. Playable but not ideal. At some point I will probably change it out.

The bolts are definitely showing.

Hi Everyone
For those that asked how much it had been routed it was 1/4” thick so it would be routed out 1/4” plus a hair extra to make sure it was below the CP surface. Like an extra 1/32” of an inch.
So with this info do you think the Reunion stick would be tall enough or should I go with the larger handle one from Tornado Terry's.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
