I am looking for more concrete info on Data East (Wico) style rotary joysticks.

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 with part numbers or other info. 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?

Replacement rotary switches
Data East (Wico) style rotary joystick. I am looking for rotary switch replacements, it may be one of these since it is the same manufacturer C&K that's listed on the part:

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

ROTARY SWITCH W/SHORTING CONTACTS KC-10-A(9.5)-01-S-L-S $9.25

Attached is an image of the original DE (wico) rotary switch (left) and PCB and the right.

Thanks
