WTB Wico ball top joysticks
« on: March 14, 2003, 04:04:27 pm »
I'd like to get a set of 4 Wico ball top joysticks for my 4-player cabinet, preferrably leaf swithes.  I didn't see any such thing on the wico website.  I've found some on ebay, but they're asking no less than 30 bucks a pair and not the colors i want (yellow, purple, blue, and red a la TMNT)  Anyone know of a major distributor that carries them?

Wow, that's exactly what I'm looking for, but I can't buy them now, I'm planning on doing that part of the project over the summer.  Does anyone know if Wico still sells the leaf switch ball tops?  I've heard a lot of people say that they bought them directly from Wico.

I was under the impression leaf bases were a discontinued product.. you should be able to get different coloured replacement ball shafts to replace the standard red ones if you find them, but only microswitch bases on new product..

( I could be wrong, it's been known to happen :) )
Pull a year and a half strike- it's over 4eva..
besides, WHL rocks!
