Hi I have a neo geo 4 slot cab and was looking to replace the joysticks and buttons with sanwa parts as that's what I'm used to how difficult of a swap would that be the buttons seem easy the joystick wiring not so much
And how bad was the wiring pretty easy ?Depending on the stick, you may need one of those universal brackets to reach the screw posts. I had to do that to replace my 2 slot stick to a Seimetsu

Ya it's a US big red with the speaker son top I just haven't had time to post pics or go further since works been crazy with covidNobody can help you if you don't post pictures or more details. A "4 slot cab" is kind of meaningless, it could be anything. Is it an "American style" wood cab for instance? That's going to be harder. The button holes will be too small for Sanwas, and the panel thickness will be wrong for a JLF, which are meant for thinner metal panel mounting.
Wiring is easy. There is no such thing as "bad" wiring in this case, don't be scared of it. But we can't walk you through the steps without seeing what we're working with.
Yeah, that's what I did. I couldn't use the stick, so I replaced it with something more familiar for me.My non-solicited opinion: Keep the Happ buttons, it's what's original & correct. If the buttons or stick are beat up, they are easily had. A complete set is around $50.
