Anybody recognize this joystick?

[Distortion]

I couldn't find a brand name on it anywhere.  It's got rubber microswitch actuator levers similar to the metal ones found on a super joystick.  Also, like a super joystick, it has a reversible actuator, allowing it to switch between 8 and 4 way play.  Here's a couple pics.

They look like old atari's or atari knockoffs... or European sticks...

*shrug*
no idea other than that, though...

I recognize that joystick, as I have two of them (but black).  However I couldn't tell you what brand/model they are either.  Mine came out of an old cabinet which had "Thunder Jaws" in it.  Since "Thunder Jaws" was made by Atari, I'd concur with ramy that they are old Atari sticks.   "Thunder Jaws" came out around 1990, so they were probably around that time frame.

Hmm, I got two of those and was wondering the same thing?   One thing with them is that the stick has a weird throw,  kinda square feel!

Yeah, definitely a very square feel to it.  I was more curious than anything.  I'll probably hang onto them for a little while before I decide to sell them.  I actually pulled them out of a homebrew cabinet wired to NES controllers.  The buttons in it were Happ verticals, but I couldn't ID the joysticks.

I concur it's probably an Atari stick.  That bottom roundish part looks the same as used in the CyberBall cab (a pdf manual can be found online, named cybman.pdf).  The top case is shorter than that in the CyberBall manual, though.  

Hmm, now that I look at it more, it looks less exact, but still similar.

My old Bloxeed had those in black. And I believe my old Crime City cabinet and the Crime City kit I purchased later had those sticks (in Crime City one is red and one is blue).

If yours is the 4-way version, then just sell it. I still have one somewhere (I think, I might have sold it), they are really only good for puzzle games, the throw is too long, and the cutout is wrong for maze games.
