Yes, like I said, they are slightly different.  Maybe Happ started changing how they make Comps?

I think that it's different because it's a Wico - not a comp.  The base on those pictured is a NOS Wico spring return to center base that I bought NIB - there is no way it's not a Wico.  Perhaps when Happ created the comp they based it on the Wico (thus the slight changes you mention). 

Perhaps they used both comps and wicos during the production run of MK3 and UMK3 based on supply and what they had on hand.   :dunno So then either could be actually original.  :dunno

Well I would say that if those are Wico and you are sure, then I doubt Midway ever used any Comps b/c both my machines also had the Wico and no one has chimed in to say they ever got a dedicated unit with a Comp on it.

I know that the Comp is a good replacement part, but again, not the OEM that I had.  Issue is laid to rest.  Anyone want to update the Wikki?

Wiibound:

just for my own interest, if you can, can you take pics of the dedicated MK unit? Underneath the CP, inside the cab etc.. very cool to me
thanks
