Does anyone know what joystick model is this?

[cammada]

There is an eBay item that doesn't say what type of model. Could anyone be able to identify what model is this joystick?

so is it JLF-TP-8YT model?

Definitely not a JLF-TP-8YT (shown below)


6of1's link was to a generic Sanwa that Paradise sells for $8.75 (out of stock) -- but looks can be decieving.

Since the seller does not specify a manufacturer or part number, I would assume it is a generic Chinese knockoff, especially for AU 6.92.

Normally you'd expect to pay around $20 for the JLF.

There's a reason for the old sayings:
-- You get what you pay for.
-- If a deal looks too good to be true . . .   

Personally, I recommend sticking with reputable vendors, especially ones with ties to the forums.  YMMV.

generic Sanwa jlf knock-off

Both paradisearcadeshop and groovygamegear sell them.
I don't know anyone who has tried them.

Guess I should have put emphasis on the word "looks"

You made a good call.  OP made the leap from generic Sanwa to JLF.

The reason I mentioned that "looks can be decieving" was that Bryan set Unstupid and me straight on someone selling a knockoff version of the PacMan Reunion stick here.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Only if you don't look at the restrictor plate.

So the shaft is generic and not same quality as the real quality joystick?

The link in the original post is a generic Sanwa stick -- quality level unknown.   

If you want a known quality level, stick with a known vendor and known stick model/part number.

You won't find Mercedes quality for Yugo prices.

^ This + 1.  And at the end of the day, it's not like the marginal price difference is that big anyway.  Maybe an extra 20 bucks or so.
