Does anyone know if there is a Rebuild kit available for leaf switch Joy Sticks? I had a bad grommet in one of my sticks and when I pulled out the stick to sand and paint they seemed stuck. So I think I broke a few parts. What parts would I need to buy if a Kit is not available? Also does anyone have a video of just redoing the Joysticks?

I want to say they are Wico. It is from a Konami Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles.

Confirmed, they are Wico 8 way Joy sticks.

So I am still unable to get the parts I need for these wico sticks. I got the game 90% done. All i need is the joysticks working and its ready!

Does anyone know if regular Happ joysticks will drop right in? I know they are not original but IDK what else to do at this point.

Other than noise, is there any real disadvantage to switching over to micro switch joystick over Leaf switch?
  Thanks!

Here you go.   You can buy a replacement grommet for your wico

And no, the price isn't a misprint

They are out of stock as well. LoL
I really think I need to buy Happ Joysticks and matching buttons. I wonder if there is a way to use my wico joystick nob on the Happ stick.
