Title: Does Happ sell Joystick replacment parts?
Post by: anthonylitz on November 25, 2004, 06:30:38 pm
I would love to just buy replacement stuff for my 4 used sticks.  Acording to the game counter they got about 30,000 plays.  So is that possible?  I guess new joysticks are cheap huh?!

Yeah joysticks are cheap and it's nice to have a fresh one in your hands, plus there's a $25 minimum order

but if you just want to order parts go to the specific joystick page and look at the exploded view and each individual part will have a part number

then go to checkout/your cart or whatever it is and it'll ask you if you want to enter a part number and there you can enter it

Thanks subzero!  I was pondering buying a couple new     Happs Competition from ebay.  I went to RetroBlast and read his reviews and I am pretty sure what I have installed already (Hard Yardage NFL 4 player game) are 4 Competitons.  They just don't feel that great playing fighting games.  The sticks are kinda "blocky" feeling.  And I know I grew up playing these and now I know there is that rubber block down so I hope I am not imagining this :)  :-[ But they just feel rough so I was thinking new springs and new "rubber blocks" would make them feel sweet.  But then again .....ebay...  ;)
So I guess I will get two new ones, move the best two to 3rd and 4th player and use the extras for my jukebox ideas...

that is a bit strange
competitions are fantastic for fighting games
much better than supers imo even though supers have a circular actuator and the comps have a square actuator (both made out of a sorta plastic/nylon material)

but yeah order the heavy spring too for each one just in case you like it
