EBay or Happcontrols?
GroovyTuesdaY:
Just thought i would pop this in here. When i called happ controls last week to get an order in for the super joysticks before the sale ends, i decided to take a second and ask the tech guys about what they recomended for the joystick type i was wanting. I told them i was looking for something that was as close to the old street fighter 2 and mortal kombat joysticks as one could get. The dude in the tech dept. told me that the super was the one used in ALOT of street fighter games and in some mortal kombat games, but that there is a reference number for the ULTIMATE joystick to be used to replace the original, but he said that alot of people were useing the super for the M.K games.
So , there ya have it from the horses...ugh..i mean from the happs mouth lol.
just an FYI i thought i would throw out to everyone.
I'm sure there are some arcade repair people out there with some input for this one....... ;D
remakes:
Do they pretty commonly go on sale (every month or 2), or is it pretty rare? I shouldn't need them for another month or so while I get everything ready to go, so if they go on sale rather often, I will just wait until that time. Otherwise it looks like I'm stuck paying full price. :( Is 9.50 his standard price, or is that slightly discounted as well?

9.50 is actually cheaper than they normally are from Happ controls.. the 7.50 is about the lowest i've ever seen them.. So either way you get a good deal..
If you don't need them for another month or so.. just hold onto your $$ cause they shouldn't go any higher.. just wait to see if it goes down lower..

Great! Will do. :) I will probably get started on getting the wood cut and getting it more or less assembled first, and then get the stuff for the control panel. I think most people do the control panel first, but it will have to wait a bit. I should hopefully have a "progress" section on my webpage fairly soon.

If you an find an X-arcade to test out and you like the buttons/joysticks, they sell them on their site (www.x-gaming.com). 2 Joysticks and 40 Pushbuttons all with switches for $20! The joysticks look just like the Happ Supers. The pushbuttons are a little more "clickey" and are about half the length of the Happ buttons (my player start buttons are Happ). The only catch is everyting is black. No color options. :(
