Looking for an early Taito joystick for a Lock n Chase that I just picked up - I believe it should have a red ball top. PM me with what you have...
 
Bump... anyone have one of these? I emailed Gene at Vintage Arcade and he replied that he'd have to check his boxes of sticks...
 
It's the same size wico stick that's on a jungle king, ZK, elevator action, etc..

how sure are you of this? I didn't take the best look last time I was at my buddy's and saw his but I thought it might have the same style stick as stratovox, polaris, and others from that time. Basically very similar to the nintendo sticks.
 
Here's a pic from the manual - no dimensions, but you get the idea. It should have a red ball top...

Stick

I'm pretty sure it's the same stick as what I said.. Just pop ofF the leaves and put a micro in.. It's the same size shaft, base, and grommet.. I've got a Stratovox and it's nothing like the diagram.. Stratovox uses (2) micros and has a center leaf that's attached to a large plate.. So you can only go right and left..
