Crapola.

That's what I was afraid of. Why's it so freakin' big? I understand it's gotta hold carts, but there are still ways to slim the actual unit down. :?

If you're referring to where he says it's EFFIN BIG, I totally agree. My eyes bulged out when I took it out of the packing box. lol

I installed this in a cabinet years ago and sold the cab. Contacted the buyer as he'd mentioned he wasn't a fan of the stick and got to buy it back from him. They are rare though but it should never break.

:cry:

I thought maybe you were sitting on a stack of them. In boxes. I've never seen one in a box, well, not the retail one at least.

Kinda wish Suzo/Happ would do a re-run of them. They're amazing units.

What's the story on these Suzo sticks? Never heard of the brand.
The Suzo 500 is a fairly popular stick over in Europe. Very well built, extremely tight. Nifty restrictor mechanism on the bottom. I kinda prefer them with the non-tapered metallic shaft, but to each his own.

The Inductive is basically a 500, without switches. There's a 5V powered PCB on the bottom that pulses a magnetic field, which is distorted by a ferrite core installed on the end of the stick shaft. That distortion is read in by a series of coils on the same PCB and transformed into a switch value that an arcade system can read.

They are dead silent and since they're magnetically activated rather then optically, you can calibrate the sensitivity using the onboard potentiometers to damn well anything. Unfortunately they're rare, and kinda expensive to boot. Not sure why they stopped making them- the PCB is pretty simple and there isn't really anything "special" about them from a manufacturing standpoint. Maybe it's because there were no switches so they never wore out. *shrugs*
