Click to expand... Unfortunately, the manual doesn't specify by manufacturer name. It just says "8-Way Joystick Assembly." But it does provide a detailed diagram of it: http://arcarc.xmission.com/PDF_Arcade_Manuals_and_Schematics/Congo Bongo Manual.pdf See page 100 of the PDF (page 95 in the manual). Oddly, earlier in the manual it shows a picture of a microswitch joystick, but I remember playing an original Congo Bongo upright back in the day and it definitely had a red ball top, leaf switched stick, and Funspot's does as well.
