Help me source or mod ball shafts for wico sticks

Pages: (1/2) > >>

I recently aquired several used black base wico leaf sticks for project work.  The sticks still work well but the chromed shafts are somewhat ratty looking.

Does anyone have any experience locating NOS replacement shafts or identifying a suitable replacement that can be machined without too many steps?  Ideally, I am looking for red ball-tops, or a black handle style, but am open to other ideas.

I just read Rayb's fire-button balltop stick thread.  These are the same style wico sticks that he has pictures of.

These would have been an ideal solution, but as Ray sold out before I bought the WICO sticks, I am looking for a plan B.

Thanks Guys!

That looks good.  I don't know how I missed them in my ebay search.

RayB:

I see Wico ball-top shafts for sale on EBAY all the time. It's hit or miss on the condition though. Most are used.



MinerAl:

The other thing to try first is polishing the ratty shafts you have.

An electric drill and some steel wool will do wonders for ugly shafts.
