1UP Arcade PICS
1UP:
The sticks will just be Happ Tron grips, with the bottom cut down to make them about 1/2" shorter. I am having custom shafts made, which will allow mounting of the grips to competition sticks with heavy duty springs. The shafts will have two sets of tapped holes, to allow mounting of the modified mini-tron grips, or full-height grips. When these are done, I will make them available to the public in some form. Pricing to follow...

Problem with that is the other stages of Tron use an 8-way stick. How are you going to switch to 4-way just for the light cycles?
The competition/super base is the most hackable for what I need to do. I haven't seen any 4-8way switchable sticks that would allow for using a hollow shaft, that have the kind of throw and spring action that I like. If you have any recommendations, I would be glad to take them into consideration.

Well, I guess I was thinking of a mechanism like the Groovy Game Gear switch-from-the-top style. That would make switching on the fly between light cycles and other stages easy. However, I have no idea if this is a practical solution given shaft parameters, throw, spring action, etc. I guess I was just fishing for a wish list solution...
1UP:
I wish someone made a good 4-way that was switchable to a diagonal 4-way from the top of the panel. No one makes a good Pac->Q*bert stick...
