Picked these ball top sticks a few years back from slikstick and want to grab somemore(they are long gone). Does anyone know where I can get some lighted ball joysticks or maybe you have some laying around? Let me know either way!!!! Attached some pictures to show you what I am talking about!!

I have one in green, but it isn't really for sale. I had it custom made for a really short throw (for use in a Galaga), but they still put the grooves for a mounting in a damned wooden CP instead of a metal one. I'm sure I'll get around to installing it one day (and milling in the other ring so it has the throw I wanted.) If you could find the balls, you could probably just make them). Didn't look that complicated to me. Just more trouble than most people wanted to put into them.
 
These are the ones that had the plug on the bottom of them to plug it right into a ipac, etc... Surprised no one has any extra of these or no one makes them anymore. They are a nice stick and ball and you could just use happ joystick bases!!

Ive been looking for some for awhile and no luck, sometimes they pop up on ebay. Im just going to use regular happ comps in my mame machine for now and maybe upgrade later

I wouldn't be all that hard to machine a replacement stick for a HAPP comp that has wiring for a screw on ball top. With a hole down the center you could easily use a Seimitsu bubble top and a LED to light it up.
