Looking for images of old style Suzo arcade sticks

Ultimately I'm looking to purchase some old style Suzo arcade sticks but I want to make sure I buy the right type. So I'm looking for images of the old Suzo arcade sticks which used the rubber grommet to centre the stick. I'm specifically looking for the smaller sized old Suzo sticks because I've only ever come across one many years ago, so I want to know if they still exist.

If anyone here happens to own one please post pictures of the stick and include the base of the stick.

I haven't seen the sticks you're after, but they sound a lot like the old Australia MCA joysticks. They are like the euro sticks but have a smaller handle/balltop, rubber centering grommet, and nice short throw, perfect for shooters. Great sticks and hard to find these days.

It could be but the microswitches and the gate felt different to a MCA. The stick I used also had a round gate. I came across the following image a few months ago:

I've never seen this before and this could be what I'm looking for. An MCA stick with a Wico/p360 base. I didn't know if this was possible. How much would these cost now?

Kev A, thanks. I'll need to purchase another one of these but I'm also looking for the type without the red actuator tip, and the extremely rare smaller size (if the smaller size even exists). I want to purchase all the Suzo clone type sticks including the MCA again.

Got these parts of a rubber grommet j/s

don't know what make it was.
Also this one has a very short stick but does incorporate a spring under the actuator which presses against rubber grommet. I put this one up because the other pic(NB the housing is the same but I Frankensteined it with other j/s parts for track and field speed)shows that it could well be capable of having more grommets instead of the spring system.

I often wondered why the spring was pressing against a rubber grommet that appears to not really serve any purpose.
Just because they look good a pic of a blue MCA

Does anyone know if this Happ stick would be compatible with a Wico 360 base.

Sorry for bumping old threads. I'm actually getting close to finding what I want, lol.
