White joysticks...
There is a local near me who has a couple of Crazy Climbers... He's been installing the "Sanwa" joysticks with the white round top. They feel good and nobody would know that they were not originals... He says that with those sticks he can actually do better than with the originals. Not sure on that claim, but they do look pretty and work good, and felt good in my hands...
do you have a website or link that has these joysticks?
They are nothing like wico sticks, more like bloated nintendo sticks. I replaced mine and did a write up here:

Enjoy.
Here are pics of original Crazy Climber joysticks. I made new control panels to put Sanwa JLF joysticks in so I wouldn't have to mod the JLF joysticks like that tutorial on the web, but just ordered JLW sticks from www.lizardlick.com and they are drop in replacments. No modification necessary except to desolder the wires & add connectors. They're also stiffer than the JLF's and feel quite a bit more like the originals only they work much better.
