question about ms pac reunion stick

(1/2) > >>

bigle:
i just picked up a new reunion stick off ebay and have a question.  the shaft is roughly 3/8" and the hole in the dust washer is more like 9/16".  is this normal?  if so, it doesn't seem very effective. 

on all the other joysticks i've got have the dust washer fits much closer (wicos and t-sticks).

thanks

JODY:
I've got several of the sticks I bought from Bob Roberts at least a year ago.  They have the same issue so I'd consider it normal.

bigle:
well i guess that's good that it's normal but i still don't like it.

thanks jody



has anyone had any issues w/ the oversized dust washer?  is there another one i could substitute for that would fit better?  anybody made their own who would like to share how they did it?

spiffyshoes:
I can't remember he managed to get some shaft covers or not but if Randy has some that come with his Versa-Ball Tops then they should fit the pacman reunion shaft perfectly.

It's normal. I noticed that the ones fitted to the Ms Pacman/Galaga machines have the same problem.

As far as I know the reunion stick is just a 4 way Happ Super base (actually made by Industrias Lorenzo) fitted with a custom handle made by someone other than IL.

I know that IL don't manufacture the ball top handles because I asked them.

The reunion sticks come with a standard Happ/IL washer but they really need a smaller washer to match the narrower diameter of the ball top handle's shaft.
