Source for Happ Controls Perfect 360 Optical Joystick?
« on: March 13, 2020, 11:44:38 pm »
I've dug up a Happ Controls Perfect 360 Optical Joystick base assembly in an old box of parts, but I'm missing a stick plus the bushings and spacers.


Is there any chance of sourcing parts for this stick or is it simply junk without them being out of production for so long?


Thanks all.

Your links are busted.  I've got a lot of old happ stuff but not the optical stick.  Do you think some of their stuff might be cross-compatible?

I have happ perfect 360 joysticks and extra parts. I replaced my joysticks with slikstik lighted ones(in like 2002 when he was still delivering  ;)) so I have extra and I have a broken one with some parts too. A spring and plastic case ect. the optical board is broken in that unit but everything else is useable. I will look for these but I am sure I have all three.

Maybe this link will work. It shows the items aside from the base that initially came with it.

I have a brand new happ mechanical stick i was hoping would make a donor for parts but the diameter of the stick itself is too large to even feed through the base of the 360. So it doesnt appear that they are cross compatible.

I found one of the solid stainless sticks as well, but its too heavy to use seriously.

Name a price for the ball top with the sleeves along with a paypal email address and I will send you payment.
Ready to play some games!

And Thank yiu for going out of your way to look!

The ball top is stainless steel if you are still interested and the 4 bat tops are the originals that came with the optical 360's if you want one of those instead or also. I will give it to you for free just pay the shipping and it is yours. PM  your address and let me find out how much to ship and I will let you know and we will go from there. Peace!
