Claw game joystick help, please!

[Guru-420]

I have a claw game I got recently, a 1993 Clean Sweep. One of the first problems is a bad joystick, mine doesn't center and one of the switches sticks. I am also having a heck of a time getting the e-clip back on. I'm thinking of swapping it out completely and getting a new one to install while I try to fix/rebuild this one. Could someone please point me in the right direction? The manual doesn't seem to list a swap-out replacement. Will this work?

Awesome, thanks for the info Dave. Any pointers on the removal/replacement?

Pretty sure it's straight forward. It would be a good idea to mark your wires so you know which wire puts the trolley in what direction. ( Just in case ).

Second option

I believe is the same and a little cheaper. http://www.hollandcomputers.com/sto...ane-and-claw-style-games-50-7008-00-p8070.htm

Just to close up this thread...

The replacement joystick worked great. 4 nuts removed from underneath and the entire assembly popped right out. New one was a pretty close replacement. Only issue I found was a difference in the tab sizes on microswitches. The previous version used a .250 tab size, the new one used a .187 tab size. Luckily, the hardware store next to me had 1 10pk left, so I replaced them properly the same day.
