Is there a good source for DE rotary joystick parts? I've done a lot of searches and I don't see anything of value. My understanding is the DE sticks have Wico bases... are the newer Wico sticks interchangeable with the DEs?

thanks
 
I've got two Wico Rotaries if you are interested. They are the ball top ones with a set screw on the side and one has a cracked ball. My understanding is that you can undo the set screw and put the DE Cylinders on. NOS DE Cylinders pop up on ebay fairly regularly.

I have posted the information that I have gathered on my website. I have the SNK version of the LS-30 exploded view etc., but I'm still looking for a Data East (Wico) style manual or exploded view. I have been meticulously searching through the rotary arcade game manuals and gathering any additional info on the 2 common sticks.

Parts would be nice... anyone got a source?
 
Happ rotary

OR will the Happ rotary switch work (there's no picture of the actual part on the site)?
