Wico 8-way Leaf sticks for Robotron
« on: April 12, 2005, 02:42:13 pm »
 Does anyone know where I can pickup a pair of Wico 8-way sticks for Robotron?  I've checked ebay and was told that the ones for sale there were knockoffs.
 
Thanks

Not all of the Wico sticks you'll find on eBay are knockoffs. Do a little research and you'll be able to tell the difference with a quick glance.

eBay has a search feature you can set up that'll notify you via email whenever something you're looking for gets listed. I've used it a few times with good results.

Thanks for the ebay hint ... I am going to set up after this post.  I think I will order order some Optical 360 sticks from SlikStik to hold me over until I can get some Wico 8-way sticks.

If you are buying perfect 360 sticks then all you need are Wico handles. They fit the P360 and it feels just like a Wico once you have that handle on them.

Wico handles are REALLY easy to get. Even the knock off handles are fine.
