hello, I'm a newbie and I'm after a real original Wico 4 way leaf joystick.I am confused because I believe there are chinese clones which are of poor quality also being sold. I've seen on ebay a seller called nicade selling "wico arcade leaf style 4 way joystick (N.O.S)" Are these the real ones? Thanks |

Nope, the word style tips you off. If the leaf switches are screwed on then it is a clone. The clone has an 8-way actuator attached to a 4-way base. The clone has leaf switches that break in under a month on location. Much easier to find used than NOS. Look for the grey colored base and the diamond shaped cutout. |

Thank you |

They on ebay or their website? Link? |
| paigeoliver:
OK. I found them on their website. That is the real deal. If you are just looking for the best and not a deal then get that. Otherwise you can often find them on ebay, but it is tougher. To snag the 4-ways cheap on ebay you have to pick them out of unlabeled lots, and off control panels. |
