You better not stop selling these?  You are the only source we know of and everyone knows that the sticks are the first part to rust and go "ugly" on a Wico.


ALL WICO OWNERS NEED YOUR HELP ponyboy

you cant stop selling these or the grommets

I need 8 of each but I wont be able to order for a week or two.  Will you still maintain some stock?

Agreed.

I've already got more balltops than bases, but If you put them on offer again, I'll buy a few more just for spares.

They fit Wico sticks and Happ P360s.  Not Comps, Supers, or anything else that I know of.

Thanks Kremmit.  NiteWalker he is correct.

Timoe, I will not stop selling them as long as I have them.

Maybe someone on the forum would like to take them all and continue the sales.

I PM'ed last week and have not heard anything.  Anyone know if these are JUST the balls themselves or is it the ball attached to the stainless steel shaft (ball or ball+shaft) that he is selling?   Balltop to me implies just the ball, but I found a few other sites selling Wico excess stating ball+shaft's were being sold.

Can anyone who ordered clear this up for me before I place an order? Thanks!

They are ball and shaft.  Actuators, e-clips and the little tiny actuator springs were included as well, although it was hit and miss on getting the round leafswitch actuators or the square microswitch actuators.  I picked up a batch a while back, and they are shiny and perfect.  :applaud:

Wico Grommets *** SOLD OUT ***

Damn it. Is there any other steady source for NOS Wico grommets? I meant to buy a few from Ponyboy but never got around to it. I don't own any Wico sticks currently but I'm sure I'll get a machine with Wico's eventually, and then I'll be kicking myself for not buying new grommets when I had the chance, the same way I still kick myself for not buying a few NOS LS-30's from videoconnect.com when they were $9 a pop, or even when they were $15 a pop. I was right on their page too back then thinking about buying a couple, but figured I'd do it later because I didn't own a machine that needed them at the time. And wouldn't you know it, now I own an Ikari Warriors machine...

DANG IT!! I wanted  (Needed) some grommets and was going to just order a few balltops as extra's.  Now if the grommets are gone we have to succumb to the eBay gougers that want $10-$15 per grommet and $6 shipping PER grommet :(

DANG IT!!!!!!  Missed it by *THAT MUCH*  :banghead:
