What do you guys think? He has 21 of them.

I'd like to get one, but can I get a handle?

Do they look like legit Wico?

They sure are cheap enough, but he's making up the money on the shipping big time.  $2.00 per unit, plus priority shipping.

They look legit to me and I bid on 4 of them.  I have some wico's but one of my leaf switches broke (the little tab for connecting) while I was de-soldering.  I found the switches at another vendor but they are 2.95 pc.

If you get them you not only need the shaft, but also a small spring, plastic retainer, and a jesus clip to hold it together.

I lost one spring for about 4 days, was driving me crazy as I knew it was in my shop, but I figured it "zinged" somewhere while I was working.  I tore the place upside down only to find it today in my coffe can of quarters.    It got swept in after I pulled out quarters to go play pinball this weekend!

Here you go... $0.99 a piece.

Thanks!  I'll give those a shot.

If those switches are the same ones that are on the Chinese knock-off Wicos then they are pretty cheaply made IMHO.

You can also get leaf switches direct from Wico:

I know this aution has ended, but since just joystick bases are probably easier to get, I was wondering if you really could get a replacement ballhandle/spring/actuator/e-clip set from somewhere to make use of these bases.
