Title: Matching balltop for both Happ Super and 49-Way?
Post by: arzoo on November 15, 2006, 08:29:07 am

Does anyone make replacement balltop joystick handles for both a Happ Super and a Midway(Happ?) 49-Way? Ideally, I'd like them to light up, but that seems unlikely. My cp has a bunch of Supers and a single 49. The bat tops are actually very similar, but I'd like to switch to ball tops.

On a similar note, I see that GGG sells a balltop for the newer 49-Way. How do I know which one I have (I purchased it about 10 months ago from eBay)?

Thanks!

The Versa49 shafts are designed to work with the HAPP 49-way sticks.  The older Midway sticks, often found used on eBay, use a different shaft size, so the Versa49's won't be compatible with those.

If you measure the shaft and find it to be about 1/4", then you have the older ones.
