SOLD 2 Robotron Repro joysticks ** Price Dropped** [AZ-US]
« on: February 11, 2006, 01:39:37 pm »
I have 2 reproduction Robotron joysticks in Happ Competition bases. These sticks were in my Robotron for about 6 months until I got some replacement NOS Wico sticks with perfect 360 bottoms. I would reuse the sticks but they only fit the happ comp bottoms. The sticks were made by Tom of specialty plastics and have stainless steel shafts with a beautiful red ball that has no seam. These look better than the originals and I wish I could get a set of his repro sticks for Wico but he's not making them anymore. These are the correct height for Robotron and come complete and ready to mount. The sticks can also be used as the normal 3.5" height if you want a great looking set of balltops in your cab.

$40 + shipping.

I thought he was out of the business.  Does that link really work?

Yes, He used to. I wish I had gotten a pair of the Wico repros from him before he closed down. The link is still there but he's not replied to any emails in months. He renamed the index page back in May of last year and I haven't been able to get anything from him. From what I read he went out of business when he had to stop doing pinball parts repros. If someone can get me in touch with a set of the Robotron Repros for Wico bases I would really appreciate it.

Well as luck would have it, I got a set of the Wico base repro sticks today from none other than Bob Roberts. It was a long shot but he happened to have a pair that he bought from Specialty Plastics before Tom went under. He only had the one set and since I was able to buy them at the normal price, I've lowered my price to pass on the deal. The sticks are now $40 for the set. These are complete joysticks with happ competition bases and not just the sticks themselves that Tom was selling at $32.50 a set.
