Title: Wanted: Happ's Arcade Stick STICK ONLY
Post by: Hex on August 29, 2004, 04:17:03 am
I'm looking for JUST the stick for a happs 8 way joystick, with the oddly shaped head not the round head. I don't need the bottom half, just a spare stick if anyone has any laying around. I bought a PS2 arcade pad, and it has a round head, which is lousy, I'd like to replace it with a street fighter style stick.

To clarify, I'm looking for an ultimate or a competition, prefferably an ultimate.

If no one can trade with you, you can buy just the head directly from happ.  Go to view part number and add item number 95-1277-xx for an ultimate joy head.

You do realize that you only have a tiny chance of that stick fitting your stick right? I own and have owned around 40 or 5 different models of arcade joysticks and have found very few sticks that work with more than one kind of base.

Specifically I have found 3 kinds of Wicos that all use the same stick. A non Happ base that takes the Super stick, and that the stick from a universal 2-way will fit a Defender and vise versa with only a minor mod.

What I have never seen is a console arcade stick that would take the stick off any real arcade stick.

Hrmm, thanks oliver, I didn't even realize that the shafts had different sizes, it doesn't really matter if I can do it or not, I'm gettimg used to using the ball top. Thanks for the advice.
