Reproduction Wico leaf switch Joysticks? Availiable?
« on: January 26, 2011, 12:08:36 pm »
Does anyone offer repro leaf switch joys?  Doesn't have to be a Wico.

Or am I stuck using the leaf switch/microswitch adapters?

He also has  NOS Wico style ones
They are very good to deal with

I'm not aware of leafswitch adaptors being available for microswitch joysticks, do they exist?

I saw these myself recently, but they are unavailable at the moment per an email reply I received in response to my query.  Other than this one I was unable to find any leaf switch joysticks available anywhere except for original stuff.

The only leaf switch adapters I have ever seen are for pushbuttons.

It would be nice if GGG came up with a way to use the Micro-leafs with a normally micro switched joystick. (I just don't know if they would hold up under joystick strikes).

I know this is an old post.. But I offer nos leaf wicos. Have a small amount of the 3.5" kind, every ball color except black. Also sell refurb'd leaf joysticks with nos parts.. Only used parts are the bottom half of the joystick (holds the leaves) and the plastic leaf insulators (no repro's or nos available). These come with nos leaves, grommets, sticks, etc.
