T-Stick Plus Dust-Washer and Mounting.
Witchboard:
Thanks everybody for the info. I'll email Andy when I get home. Just to be safe. Don't want to end up splitting my ball top or anything.
jcoleman:
I've found that the dust washer only moves minimally (it's negligible, really) when the joystick does. Therefore, assuming you get the hole centered perfectly around the shaft, you could drill a hole the size of the ball (slightly larger, I guess) and still not have to worry about exposing the inside of the panel. Note that I have not tried this myself. Now if anyone's been able to modify a Wico balltop shaft to fit a T-stick...that's something I'd be interested in...wonder if the command and control sticks could be modifed, since they are longer...hmmm...

If you DID split your balltop, and then glue/tape it back together, it would be more arcade accurate though.
Witchboard:
Heh, yeah, then all I'd need is some cigarette burns to complete the look. ;D
Witchboard:
Just for the record if anybody else was looking for the answer:
