Found: a good 4-way joystick for a wood CP
wakerlet:
All,
about a month ago I ordered a trackball from Betson and while on the phone I asked the rep if he had any 4-way joysticks like the Happ Ms Pac-man/Galaga reunion stick. He told me that they had just received "approval" from Namco on their own version of this stick.
Then...he said that they also have a Qix/Space Invaders 4-way stick.
I said "What is the difference?"
He said "Oh the shaft is taller"
"How much taller?" I asked
"Not sure" he said.
Long story short, I said what the hell and ordered the "longer" joystick. Since my control panel was going to be wood, I knew the Pac/Galaga stick wouldn't work well.
I'm happy to say the 4-way Qix/Space Invaders stick from Betson works great. Mounted on my 3/4" CP, the ball sticks out about as far as the Pac/Galaga would out of a metal CP.
I'll take some pictures this weekend of the CP so you can see what I'm talking about.
This could be a great option for those looking for a dedicated 4-way in a wood CP.

I'll get the measurements for you this weekend. Would you like to know the measurements from the c-clip grove to the bottom of the ball top?
Bgnome:
i would appreciate that ;)
i am trying to establish a height for the ball tops i am making. if you could also measure the height from the top of the wood too, it would be very helpful. is the base similar to the reunion sticks, more wico-like, or is it more like the happs super/comps style?
