SOLD OUT

Thanks all who ordered.

I have a number of unused, new in box/new old stock WICO micro switch ball top joysticks. PM orders please.

• Original NOS Wicos with original box and instructions (NOT the notorious cheap Chinese knockoffs)
• Microswitch
• 8 Way ball top
• 3.5" shaft
• Rubber grommet
• Dustwashers
• These are NOT leaf switch sticks. I do not have access to leaf switch sticks, sorry.

Available colors:

~~Red~~ Sold Out
~~Orange~~ Sold Out
~~Purple~~ Sold Out
~~Yellow~~ Sold Out
~~Green~~ Sold Out

Price is $12 each plus shipping. Cheaper than a Happ Super for a NOS Wico!

Shipping costs via USPS Priority Mail:

Qty Price

1 $7
2 - 6 $12

To order PM me
•Indicate color and quantity of each.
•Include your name and shipping address.
•Include your email address
•Your order will be confirmed when I send you my paypal info
•PayPal only
•International shipping OK, shipping cost may be higher. (UK $19)

I will bubble wrap the ball top shaft prior to shipping since Wico's original packaging allows the ball top to rattle around with the other parts. These are as mint as you can get. Any slight marks on the ball are from the factory shipping and storage in unopened boxes.

ALL SOLD OUT

Mod please unsticky

Can these be used in a leaf Wico (ie replace all the worn parts?)
Can you sell just the sticks with the ball tops at a cheaper rate?

Unfortunately I can't justify parting them out. The rubber grommet, dust washer and ball/stick could be used in a leaf Wico. Obviously the switches couldn't. I'll have to look more closely to see if anything else is swappable.

Grasshopper · « **Reply #10 on:** August 29, 2010, 09:35:51 am »

Can you tell me whether the shafts on these are interchangeable with the ones used on the Wico leaf bases?

Also, can you tell me approximately how much it would cost to ship two to the UK?

Thanks

Decided to start selling these again, so... bump.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #12 on:** September 14, 2011, 02:18:21 pm »

and bump. I have quite a few of these... would it make sense to get a sticky until they're gone?

Hey, guys- has anyone used these types of sticks? I'm thinking of picking one up and was wondering how they felt with 4-way and 8-way games. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Quick mini-review:

I decided to spoil myself for Xmas and get one of these. I picked up a purple one to match my 4-way cab (I may convert it to an 8 way and use this).

The stick feels great! The rubber centering grommet really makes a difference. The stick feels nice and tight. The stick is solid and just feels... right.

I'm going to build a test panel to see how it feels, but for the price and quick turnaround (I didn't have to wait 8 years for it, unlike Mission Control), you can't go wrong. The only negative is that he didn't throw in a DVD of "The Final Countdown"!

Thanks for the feedback.

Bump for modified shipping costs. Found a way to box and ship a single joystick for less.

aaaaand... bump

Damn- my itchy finger wants to pull the trigger on another one of these.

HaRuMaN · « **Reply #24 on:** January 19, 2012, 08:50:17 am »

Is there a dimensions on the base somewhere? L, W, and hole spacing. I want to see if these will fit my existing cab without modification.

If Pixelhugger doesn't have time to post an answer, I'll measure mine and post it when I get home.

noapparentfunction · « **Reply #39 on:** June 13, 2012, 10:18:31 pm »

I joined this forum just to inquire about these sticks!

I had gotten a pair of Happ Ultimate Joysticks for fairly cheap with some buttons through an eBay deal, and unfortunately, while the sticks seemed durable and high-quality, they seem to be terrible at diagonals. I even did some internet research and discovered that this is sort of unanimous among the forum posts I've seen. Some had advised the IL Competition Joystick instead but those seem to be hard to come by these days.

So my question is, are these joysticks you are selling considered better or on par with the IL Competition Joysticks? I'll buy two in a second if they fare well with fighters. Thanks!
