Any idea of manufacturer / Model

Apollo:

Ditto definately a Happ Competition joy.

spidermonkey:

Betson/Imperial buys their joysticks from Industrias Lorenzo just like Happ Controls does.Both companies are distributors not manufacturers. For example, Betson/Imperial sells the "Super" joystick but they call it the "Superior"  but its the same stick. Usually Betson/Imperial will buy the sticks from Industrias Lorenzo minus the microswitches. Betson uses their own choice of microswitches rather then Cherry. If you ever see an Ultimate or Competition stick with microswitches that are a mustard yellow color then chances are the stick was bought through Betson/Imperial instead of Happ but whatever the case the joystick itself was *made* by Industrias Lorenzo.
Wico is a distributor too but they sell  joysticks and controls made by "Suzo" (one of Industrias Lorenzo's largest competitors)
Actually I shouldn't say that Betson/Imperial is *strictly* a distributor because they do manufacture some of the products they sell ie. trackballs and some of the billiard products ect.. but the majority of the products they sell are made by someone else.

RayB:

...and just for the record, Wico USED to be a manufacturer way back when, but not anymore.


u_rebelscum:

Yes, wico is the US suzo distributor.

Goz:

This pair of joysticks were put on eBay for $18 + shipping for the pair.
