I'm looking for parts for my bartop and would really love to get one of these translucent joysticks (the one on the left of the first picture):

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=36943.0

but ponyboy does not carry them anymore. I'm looking for clear, no color, with harness, etc.

I'm in Southern California.

Thanks,
Tahnok100

I purchased Pony's remaining stock a little while ago. Unfortunately I have already used the clears. If you change you mind on avoiding colors. I have blue, pink, and purple left.

Cool, I'll keep it in mind if I can't get a clear one. I would really prefer clear though, it will fit in with my translucent buttons and color scheme the best.

You could always get a clear Versaball shaft

I don't think the Versaballs come in clear, do they? When I say clear, I don't mean just translucent, I mean uncolored translucent.

I'm still hoping that someone is looking to get rid of their translucent clear balltop though.

They do and they don't.

They "do" in the 49-way version here: http://www.groovygamegear.com/cgi/surfshop/shop.cgi?storeid=1&cols=1&categories=0026&&c=detail.htm&itemid=VERSA49B



If that particular shaft doesn't work for your needs, it seems possible that GGG can swap out a top for you and/or that they are already available on the 'normal' Versaball and just not listed on the site (stuff like that has happened before)

The other option is the light up balltops that Slikstik sells, which are (apparently) just frosted 'white' when they're not lit up.   Seems like a waste of a light up joystick, but always an option

Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion quarterback, but I don't think that's quite what I'm looking for.

I guess if no one has one, I will buy a blue one from Gozur.

Thanks for the help everyone!
