Just grab a notepad and write down what connected where, and put some white labels on the wires with something written to indicate where they came from.

I'm sure there's gotta be an online source of info about them, I just don't know where...

Yeah, I wish there was a place where people gathered to talk about arcade controls.  Then you could search and find your answer.

Sorry, my comment was dripping with enough sarcasm that I didn't feel the need to put a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" in there.

Not to criticize but those are some blurry pictures... ;)

It looks like you'd be able to swap the connector for each joystick and then swap the "NO"(normally open) wire for the buttons.  This would swap the player 1 and player two controls.

BUT FIRST!

You gotta open the CP.  Look/feel for two or three spring clips that hold it down. Un do those and you can flip the Control panel for easy access to do this easy swap.

You could also clean the two joysticks, and see if the nonworking one becomes "working" again.  It just might need a switch.

Read everything you can on this forum about what people did to their games.

thanks for the replies, i have already opened the CP and looked inside and was scared to death lol but no worries i think if i can just write everything down and just do the "same wire same place" thing and see what happens. i had searched for manuals and such but i got nothing about replacing joysticks with any diagrams or clear instructions on how to.
