I picked up a Sega Holosseum yesterday, and the player one and two joysticks are different sizes. I need to swap out player one (red) so that they match. My blue player two joystick appears to be the original.

Is Happ's 8-way Competition joystick the way to go, or is there something more appropriate or closer to what was used for the game originally?

If anyone knows what joystick was used originally or where I could find them, that would be even better.


Here's a pic of the CP (KLOV pic, not mine).

Your best bet would be to pull the 2 joysticks, keep them, scrap the rest.
Save your eyes the pain of trying to see that screen.
Kidding.
I would think that the sticks on that would be a JAP stick, something like a Sanwa or Seimitsu.
www.lizardlick.com has that sort of stuff and will even order you stuff he does not have out of a sanwa parts catalog.
Could be wrong about them being JAP though, never messed with one.

Hahaha. Yeah, visibility is a bit strange on this one.

The Sanwa and Seimitsu ones all appear to be ball tops (and I'm getting a weird malware warning on the lizardlick site).

The tops of the joysticks on the game are a bit tapered like the Happ ones (but without the extended covering on the shaft).

Does brand really matter? Are most 8-way controls universal, or can I potentially mess things up by dropping in the wrong joystick. I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I've never swapped out a joystick before.
 
The jap ones have different mounting and feel ALOT different.
You can get the ball or bat for the jap sticks, you can see them on that site with some cool metal ones.
I got that warning too but went in anyway, I will let you know if I have to format my PC and reinstall XP because of it.

I have brand new Happ Ultimate sticks for $9 each plus shipping if you are interested in those. Just PM me if you are.
