New Product: Versa-Ball Joystick Replacement Shafts
RandyT:
Got an OMNI-Stick Basic joystick and want a Ball-top instead of the stock handle?
Or maybe you want to ditch that bat on your Competition, Super or even X-Arcade joystick?
Or maybe you felt left out in the cold because you had a 3/4" or 1/2" thick panel and because you mount your sticks below, the handles are either too stubby or too long?
.......We thought so. :)
Introducing the Versa-Ball Multi-Compatible Ball-Top Joystick Shafts.
The Versa-Ball shafts are precision CNC machined from solid Stainless-Steel for years of great looking, trouble-free service.
A large variety of interchangable balls are available, including mirror finish Stainless Steel, Textured and Shiny Red/Black balls of various sizes, and "Super Grip" rubber coated balls.
The E-clip grooves have been specially engineered to allow the Versa-Ball shafts to work with the following arcade joystick bases:
Tested:
- GGG OMNI-Stick Basic (spacers recommended to accomodate "domed" top or will sit taller than others)
- Happ Super*
- Happ Competition*
- X-Arcade*
Recently confirmed:
- PacMan Reunion/Galaga Joystick* (Thanks to spiffyshoes for the dimensions and special thanks to whammoed and JODY for testing them out with the actual units and reporting back with results and pictures (later in this thread).)
The Versa-ball shafts are designed for use with "under the panel" joystick installations on panels of 1/2" to 7/8" in thickness. There are 2 height selections optimized for an approximate 2-inch height to the bottom of the ball. One selection for panels less than 3/4" thick and one for 3/4" or thicker panels, all on one shaft! 1/2" panel users have the option of a longer stick by using the 3/4" panel setting and likewise, 3/4" panel users may opt for a shorter stick by using the 1/2" panel setting.
This item will be available in the next day or so at the GGG web store.
$11.95 w/ Your Choice of available Ball-Tops. (except Stainless)
$19.95 w/ 1 3/8" Mirror Polished Stainless Steel Ball-Top
Both include E-clips for installation.
Thanks for looking,
RandyT

If those work on super, then they SHOULD work on the Ms. Pac Reunion stick, do they?

If the Super and the Reunion sticks are interchangable, they should. I will certainly accept the return if someone wanted to try it and finds that it doesn't work.
I don't have one to test it with. Sorry.

Hmmm... what about P360's on a wood panel?

RandyT,
Can you please look into making a shaft that will fit the Happ's 49-way?
That's the one stick I have that doesn't currently have a balltop on it, and I really, really want one for it.
