I'm sorry to hear that you haven't received your order yet. However, I do find it pretty funny that you mentioned the 'manufacturing problem'. I was told the same thing when I called a few days ago. He said that there would be at least a 30-day wait. Again, like you, I'm trying to figure out what problems they can be having.. They only manufacture a handfull of things, I'm assuming most being joysticks and buttons. Practically everything else is simply being bought and resold.
It looks like I'll be going w/ another company, or Ebay if I have to. I've order from Happ multiple times, and am pleased, but they unfortunately don't carry ball-tops.
: : I forgot to ask in my previous post, has anyone dealt with Wico recently, and how was your experience?
: I ordered some ball top leaf joysticks and some overlays in september. They were backordered then I was given an excuse about a manufacturing problem. Give me a break, these things have been around since the early 80's and they don't know how to make them anymore???
: Anyway, I haven't received my order yet and don't expect to. It's no wonder Happs is kicking their butt.
