Beware of cheap knock-offs of that one.

I used various Happ 8 ways for MANY years.  I just recently moved to Sanwa JLW bat tops (bought the JLW's and the Aluminum bat tops from Paradise Arcade) and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner.  The 4 and 8 way feel top notch.  They cost a bit more than the Happ stuff but the quality is WELL worth it.

Thanks for your answers!

I think that the original pac-man would be the best option for the 4-way... but I'm going to "risk" the GGG Leaf-Pro with 4-Way restrictor for now... (I had to order T-molding, so I took the opportunity!). Besides Mikes Arcade, where can we get "new" Pac-Man Midway parts?

Since the target is vertical shooters for the 2 8-way, I'm seeing lot's of good references of Seimitsu for this type of game.
More people using Seimitsu Bat-tops? Sanwa Bat-tops are an option?

shponglefan:
Seimitsu LS-32's are great for shooters (I use the LS-32-02 specifically), so I'd go with those for your 8-way sticks.  You can get Sanwa bat-tops which should be usable on the Seimitsu sticks.  I can double check that when I get home.

And the Leaf-Pro is a good 4-way stick, so you're not risking too much ;)

rjpe:
Ok, Txs again shponglefan. Anyone modding Seimitsu with Sanwa bat-tops?
shponglefan, did you have time to check if the Sanwa bat-tops work with LS-32 Seimitsu?
There is a LS-32-01 Model, LS-32-02 and LS-32. Any difference besides the wiring and the mounting plate?

Looks that paradisearcadeshop is the best place to go for these ones.

I really want bat-tops for the shooters (Arcade Cabinets that I played in childhood and teenage had Bat-tops: 1942, 1943, Ikari-Warriors, etc.).
