$15 for these things!! For real??? Anyone else know of a cheaper source? I found some at Radio shack but they are the wrong type. They were $3.00,now thats the kind of price I wanna pay

I have used several from radio shack. Always had to cut the length of shaft and file down a side to get a flat spot. But I prefer the expensive ones from HAPP. I feel like they are better quality... But who knows
 
is this what you need?

ive cut and modified the shaft of the rat chack ones to work. gets the job done, but they are cheap junk.


really if a good one is $15 and this is a game you plan on keeping forever, drop the coin and never mess with it again.

with a rat shack one, youll be doing this job over and over again if the game gets alot of play.
