Anyone know about these things ? , it`s purpose built , maybe it was made for console games , to play like an original arcade CP , I did find this on the curbside collection some time ago ,,

i'm not sure about the connector, but it could very well be a SNES controller. I have one that's sorta similar for mine. Mine was called SNES Fighter stick.
http://cgi.ebay.com/170644638174 Looks similar. I suspect there were lots of them when SFII came out on SNES.
 
Pm me if you want to sell it as is.

I think HES was like an Australian middleman that published the gray area NES games over there. There were a few "arcade style" control panels manufactured with real cabinet parts for the Super Nintendo, most are pretty nice. Makes me wish I never sold my C&L Controls Championship Joystick.
 
I agree, don't part it out. I've never seen one before so it could be quite valuable to a Nintendo collector. Much more than the price of a joystick and a few buttons I'd think.
 
I also suggest selling this if you don't want it. It looks like a Happ bat top and buttons. Those parts brand new are probably about $20.

This might not be super valuable, but lots of console collectors would probably like to have it.
 
Ok , no parts ,,
