| How can I tell genuine Wico joysticks? |

BTW, this is why I try to stay away from reviewing used products: it's just too risky knowing if the unit has had a gentle or hard life. I reviewed a used Wico since it was the only way I could get one, and it looks like that was a big mistake. Shame there aren't any new ones available (or are there? anyone know of any NOS source or new Wico-style leaf joysticks?) Kevin |

Whats up Kev. I might be talked into letting you *Cough* Borrow my NOS Wico 8-way leaf joystick for a review. I also have a NOS P360 optical adapter for it you could *Cough* Borrow to review along with it. |

Hey Kev, do you mean the tiny little spring that goes on the shaft of the Wico? If so, that's supposed to be there, to give a bit of play if you pull up on the stick. If it was a BIG spring that actually acted as the resistance for the motion, then that is the wrong wrong stick. ;D I think I could even find an atari wico to send for review ;) Don't see the point, but they are pretty much the only sticks that still function flawlessly when I fire up the old 2600 and 800 ;D |
