I bought a Mini Neo 19 like this pic...

The problem that I am running into is that the system did not come with a joystick. I am able to get a Happ stick but I have no clue what type of JPN joysticks to get. I assume it’s a Sanwa or is it the Seimitsu, anyone have any idea which one it is and if so which version or size?

Any help would be appreciated...Thanks

Go to Himura Amusement.

Get the JLF-TP-8YT stick. It matches the originaly sticks, but requires some modification. Once done however, these sticks work very well. I have replaced both sticks and all the buttons on my Neo19 (just like yours). Here is a step by step guide to installing the new sticks.

1. Take the mounting plate off the joystick.

2. Lay it on the bracket welded to the control panel and mark the edges.

3. Cut the mounting plate on each side so it is physically smaller and will now fit in the tight control panel space.

4. Mark and drill holes for the mounting screws.

5. Reattach the mounting plates to the joysticks and install.

You may want to order the hook up cable from Himura as well. It makes things a bit easier.

If you don't feel comfortable doing this, I can do it for you if you ship the sticks to me. For free of course! I gotta help a fellow Neo19 owner! If you would like, I can send you pictures of my installation. We'll get through this buddy! I'll help you to the end!

The sticks in there are most likely the seimitsu sticks. To install the Sanwa sticks you would need new mounting plates and a 5 pin molex wire to hook them up.
