Thanks for offer, but I'm looking for some 8 and 4 ways. Mostly for a new project, but also just to have a few extra's around in case I bust another one... I was going to buy some on ebay when I caught an auction at the last minute... But seems 4 other people where waiting in the shadows and bid at at the last second. Went from 7.99 to 41.00 in less then 10 seconds. Seems to be norn as of late.. But that's another story.   ::)

That's what I did. I just went ahead and bought some new ones. 2 Wico ball tops, and a ms-pacman for the 4-way. I am tired of searching around on ebay for deals on used parts. Although I have gotton some great deals, non of them are what I needed. :)

Just a follow up.  You can always get 2 x-arcade joysticks new on eBay for 9.99.  Thats only 5.00 each.  I got a set with buttons for about $20. No one misses out from sniping when a dutch auction.

those X-arcade joysticks and buttons suck.
They are less responsive and the micro-switches inside just are not made as well.

The joystick is also a clone of what Happ sells as a "Super." It's not the best stick to clone.
