Yeah they are fine...but expensive, and can take a very long time to deliver.  Also, shipping is always

Do you actually NEED new joysticks? Reason I ask is that I have been through over 100 arcade games in the past 4 or 5 years and only ONE of them needed a new joystick, and it just needed one of them.

Everyone here seems to have some sort of joystick fetish.

The machine was being trow out of a yoth center after somone spilt drink on it. The thing shorted a BANG most of the controls are stuck together and i dont think will work there Screwed so yes i need new controls.

Take 'em apart...alcohol and elbow grease can cure almost any cola sin. Seriously, have you taken the sticks out and examined them?

You've probably had many decidated or decent machines.  The UK is afflicted with having damn awful 'Euro' joysticks on many/most machines

Don't forget Ultimarc http://www.ultimarc.com/ - they are also UK-based.

this is relatively off subject, but i've got a whole nother post about needing side panel dimensions off of a neo geo machine and was wondering, first of all, what type of neo geo mashine do you have? (candy cab, mvs system, other...) and would you be willing to make a big trace of the side panel and send it to me in the mail?  i'd be willing to pay for it.  thanks.
