I just finished a Multi-Williams CPO to put on my Joust machine and thought I would share pictures and ask a question.
I did not want to have the traditional "multi" art that feels a bit too "cut and paste" for my personal taste; so I made something new that has a feel as close as possible to a real Joust CPO but accommodates the extra buttons. This way I can keep the classic look of one of my favorite machines with the benefits of multiple games. I'm fairly happy with the result but I am worried that the taller, larger sticks are going to make operating the joystick and the reverse button at the same time a bit difficult for Defender and Stargate. I looked at many stick options and settled on the old WICO stick because I really wanted to keep the correct Joust colors.
I was wondering if any one has ever found a clever way to put a short Williams stick with its very thin shaft in a base that can do 8 way operations. The closest thing I found were the small sticks from Tornado Terry's, but again, I really want to keep the light yellow and powder blue colored sticks.
Anyone have any suggestions?
