I have a brand new kit that has everything including the joystick if you want to PM me an offer. I don’t think I’ve seen just the stick before.
Someone on Facebook is working on making a 3D printed replacement which looks pretty cool!

The secret deals. I'm curious how much a kit would go for on ebay these days. Is there precedent?
Think we've been seeing the 275-325 mark on panel/stick combos lately. And for whatever weird reason they're almost all NOS it seems. Seen 4-5 pickups that were NOS the past few months between forums and FB, and now this one, and a dude on AO. Bizarre.
Guess we'd need to know what a kit consists of to really guess at what it's worth. Is a kit a full-on conversion kit for an NNC, art, Naomi, GD-ROM, disc, chip, and panel? Is a kit just the panel? Panel, art, and disc/chip? I have no idea.

I think most of the nos kit was from good old Yaton. He was selling them a few yr back

I got a lot of my stuff from ex Sega arcade techs in the Bay Area. Sometimes you find goldmines in their storage spaces. 
I’d personally like to trade these to fellow collectors for something interesting rather than sell on eBay. Or perhaps sell to someone in the community, I want it played not flipped!

I have seen on Facebook in a couple of groups that some people are working on making repros of these and that the prototypes are done. They are looking good so far.

It's just the banana itself. I don't understand the purpose. The banana is probably the most robust part of the thing. There are a lot of parts involved under the panel, including a little pcb.

Not sure. Maybe they are working the repros section at a time?

Any sega analogue stick/panel will work fine for monkey ball, I use a sega baseball panel as I gave up hope if ever finding a real panel reasonably priced, zombie revenge and Virtua striker panels work also, just need to swap a wire over and calibrate in the menu. Wish so much I’d seen those yanton ones a few years back

Now that I have some cabs at my buddy's arcade, I wished I kept mine. Games with unique controls are the best. Nothing like 4 buddies on a warlords cocktail

Yeah, but all the other parts are still sold by Sanwa. The banana isn't.
Damn... I've been after one of these panels for over a year now and you haven't sent me a single link
Sorry! I apparently forgot :/.Damn... I've been after one of these panels for over a year now and you haven't sent me a single link
I'm going to have to reacquaint myself with your WTB thread..
Sanwa also sells the whole flight stick. It's expensive though.
Personally if you're after one of these, look for a used stick on eBay and retrofit it with new parts. That's what I did and I now have a good as new stick.
The stick was used at least on Planet Harriers and Sega Strike Fighters. I'm sure there are others though.
@reclaimer - Did you find your stick yet?
