Does anyone know if these are interchangeable? Trying to fix a spare gorf joystick board. I can't seem to find the datasheet to compare but the physical size of them are identical.
Compatible Optos?

Hah... before I scrolled it was just a full-screen finger.

Thanks for confirming, I suspect the difference would cause the switch/joystick to act differently. I just got a boat load of old electronic parts from another klover and found a draw full of these that looked similar so I was hoping it would work right.Honeywell HOA 1873 vs 1879: (suffix seems related to diameter of the detector aperture)

Many of us have used this replacement. It's currently out of stock but I'm sure you can chase it down elsewhere

Yes I'm familer, I tried one out and it worked but didn't sit as well as the original due to the difference in spacing. Plus I didn't want to spend another $10 shipped since I had so many of these already. Guess I will have to go that route anyway.
agreed on the way it sits. I suspect you could likely enlarge the through-holes on one side to allow it sit better but still works fine the way it sits

Why not just install it and see what happens?
