I've been out of the hobby for awhile now but was cleaning out an extra bedroom and ran across a small box of parts.  Stuck 'em up on eBay partly because I don't really know the current "street value" and partly so I could minimize my time investment and the number of trips to the post office involved in selling them.  Thought some here might be interested, particularly in the Wico rotaries since it seems like they don't come up too often these days.

Pair of Wico rotary joysticks
Wico 2" trackball
Bob Roberts "fully loaded" JAMMA harness
Assorted leaf switch push buttons

Hopefully the starting bid prices aren't out of line.  Tried to err on the low side, but the searches I did provided little to go off of on the sticks and trackball.

Thanks for looking...  I'll be making an effort to check back for any replies but if anyone has any urgent questions or whatnot it might be best to ask via eBay or shoot me an e-mail so as to make my phone ding at me and give me a "heads up".

UPDATE: Rotary sticks didn't sell first time around - maybe $30 for the pair was too high?  Relisted for $20 starting / $25 buy it now.  Thanks for looking!

I have optipac and ipacv2. I'm a beginner on the controller building, could I use the Wico Rotaries on these controllers?
I drink and I know things.

These are mechanical rotary sticks, not optical, so the Optipac won't work with them.  The I-Pacs don't do rotaries at all.  Ultimarc does sell an interface that handles two mechanical rotary joysticks (http://www.ultimarc.com/rotary.html) that would work with these.  For your reading pleasure, the BYOAC Wiki has some good information on the different types of rotaries here: http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Joysticks#Rotary_Joysticks
