Wanted: Happ's Arcade Stick STICK ONLY
« on: August 29, 2004, 04:17:03 am »
I'm looking for JUST the stick for a happs 8 way joystick, with the oddly shaped head not the round head. I don't need the bottom half, just a spare stick if anyone has any laying around. I bought a PS2 arcade pad, and it has a round head, which is lousy, I'd like to replace it with a street fighter style stick.

To clarify, I'm looking for an ultimate or a competition, prefferably an ultimate.

If no one can trade with you, you can buy just the head directly from happ.  Go to view part number and add item number 95-1277-xx for an ultimate joy head.

You do realize that you only have a tiny chance of that stick fitting your stick right? I own and have owned around 40 or 5 different models of arcade joysticks and have found very few sticks that work with more than one kind of base.

Specifically I have found 3 kinds of Wicos that all use the same stick. A non Happ base that takes the Super stick, and that the stick from a universal 2-way will fit a Defender and vise versa with only a minor mod.

What I have never seen is a console arcade stick that would take the stick off any real arcade stick.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

Hrmm, thanks oliver, I didn't even realize that the shafts had different sizes, it doesn't really matter if I can do it or not, I'm gettimg used to using the ball top. Thanks for the advice.
