Title: Where to get replacement shaft & knob for happ competition?
Post by: Marsupial on January 27, 2020, 12:35:15 am
I am redoing the cp on my main cabinet and have plenty of happ competition joysticks.

I would like to change just the shaft/battop from black to coloured ones... More specifically one red, one orange, one blue.

I understand il eurojoystick are identical so either IL or suzo-happ are fine for me.

Where can we get any of these?
All i find are baltop conversions and I'd rather keep bats.

Thanks.

Looks like Happ doesn't make orange Competition sticks.

Didn't find separate listings for the IL EuroJoystick2 handles on the IL site (http://www.industrias-lorenzo.com/), but maybe you can find a vendor that carries them.   :dunno
- The part numbers are in the "POMO EUROJOYSTICK/2 CON CASQUILLO INYECTADO" table on page 1 of this PDF (http://www.industrias-lorenzo.com/en/index.php?controller=attachment&id_attachment=192) from IL.
  Orange - AMBAR - S03011042434
  Blue - AZUL - S03011042535
  Red - ROJO - S03011042131

Focus Attack has IL EuroJoystick2's in orange (https://focusattack.com/industrias-lorenzo-8-way-eurojoystick-amber-orange/), blue (https://focusattack.com/industrias-lorenzo-8-way-eurojoystick-blue/), red (https://focusattack.com/industrias-lorenzo-8-way-eurojoystick-red/), and seven other colors.

I'd rather not purchase complete units. Mine are old-school happ when they were made by IL.

If I have to get whole assembly, i think I'll just keep them black.

FA might be able to special order the handles for you -- can't hurt to ask.   ;D

P.S. They also sell IL dust washers (https://focusattack.com/dustwasher-for-il-eurojoy-superjoy-compjoy-amber-orange/) in the colors you're looking for.

Noticed your profile mentions that you're in Canada.

This site carries IL Eurojoysticks.  They might be able to special order the handles and washers.   :dunno
https://retroactivearcade.ca/collections/industrias-lorenzo/products/il-euro-stick (https://retroactivearcade.ca/collections/industrias-lorenzo/products/il-euro-stick)

Didn't see any other Canadian IL distributors in either the wiki vendor list (http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/Vendors) or the Canadian Vendors (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,105514.0.html) thread.
------------
If you don't mind yellow instead of orange, Happ Competition stick handles are another possibility.

The Playdium Store is a Canadian Happ distributor.

If they can't special order them for you, ask Divemaster.

Tornado Terry offers Happ Comp handles.
-  Their website used to list parts for sale, but the parts page currently shows a "coming soon" image.   :(

- The eBay listing indicates "Ships to: United States".   :banghead:

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I checked tornado Terry but as you say it's not available here. Him supplying the sticks is the reason I know I should be able to find what I am looking for.

With all the Japanese ones available I am surprised it isn't easier to find.

Lots of suggestions for me to try and only one I had contacted before, do thank you

Everyone I contacted don't stock these, except Tornado Terry and theRealBobRoberts.

I talked Terry into shipping to Canada (just asked and he agreed)

Shipping to Canada costs more that the shafts, but even then it remains cheaper than buying new complete joysticks before shipping and exchange rate.

So I decided on getting them from Terry.

Thanks for the assistance in my search.
