Source for Donkey Kong joystick

[PixelPaul]

Where can I find a Donkey Kong joystick? Most joysticks I see look like a Pac-Man reproduction, with a large red ball on top. A DK joystick appears to me to have a much smaller black ball. It doesn't have to fit an authentic cabinet, as I'm building mine from scratch, but I would like it to look the same.

Mike's arcade had a spot on reproduction
Once in a while they have used ones
None right now, but keep an eye out or email him

I would tell you but I cant give away all my secrets.  Just dont get twisted out of shape if you cant find one or if you pay a quarter over the price that you should be paying.

I can definitely understand getting an authentic do joystick. But I'd  recommend at least considering a 4/8 way switchable stick. That way if you end up wanting to play some other games you're all set.

There were a couple this week on the klov b/s/t section, you just got check that thing multiple times a day. The TQ one looks like it's just a happ stick with a metal plate. There's something special about the old clunky nintendo sticks that can't be captured any other way.


good day.
