Ms. Pac-Man/Galga reunion in wood cp (again)

(1/3) > >>

Santo8742:
I know this subject has kind of been beat to death, but I have a slightly different question. I'm using a 5/8" piece of plywood with a 1/8" piece of lexan covering and I'm trying to mount the reunion stick to the panel. Without really thinking it through, we routed out the bottom 1/8" on all of the joysticks including the reunion, which works great for all of them but that one. I've read in other posts that plywood is stronger than MDF and was wondering how much further should I be able to route the hole in the bottom out? I want the best feel length wise I can have, but I don't want the wood to fall in on me. Your help is appreciated.

brophog:
My advice.......leave it as is and get a longer shaft either from tornado terry or groovy game gear. There really are only 2 good ways to mount a reunion it seems: longer shaft mounted from the bottom or top mounting it with a router to recess it and then covering it with something (usually lexan).

Quarterhorse:
I agree.  Leave it as is.  I just got 2 of tornado terry's new sticks and they are wonderful.  The balltop is bigger and feels more like the original.  He ships out quickly after payment.  Save the hassle and get these new tops -- they're superior to the original sticks IMO.

squirrellydw:
I also got two longer shafts from TT and the blue ball tops all great

Santo8742:
I worry that the longer shafts are going to be too long. Remember I already routed out 1/8" off the bottom, would the 1/2" remaining wood and 1/8" plexi make it short enough? If so, this is most likely the route I will go.
