Garbage picked Konami Multicade...
BobA:
Nice vertical Konami Multicade. All I have found info on is the horizontal version but the buttton joystick layout looks the same. I think it was shipped knocked down with a 14 inch TV for the monitor. The PC boards were small and specially made for the cab home market. Some say the controls were weak others had good luck with them so they are probably not arcade quality. There was also a series of small bartops that were sold. They were built by Big Electronic Games.
Here is a tread on one of their Midway bartops but the Konami is also mentioned. Link
The controls on the Midway bartop look more like arcade controls than those on your Konami.
Edit: I see you already found that tread.

what i really want to know is about replacement joysticks and buttons.
like what size works best? brand? etc.
BobA:
Take a look at some of the projects on this board and you will see a multitude of control panels with different arcade quality parts. You probably need something not too expensive to get much nicer working controls. Take a look at Buy and Sell to see what forum members sell parts. Paradise Arcade, Arcadeemulator.net, Groovy Game Gear and Ultimarc come to mind. You may have to replace the control panel with a wooden one to fit in newer buttons. There was a link to some Midway cab mods in the tread that I listed earlier.
