I could not find Wico ball joysticks at the Wico website (online catalog)
Don't they make these anymore? Are people buying used ones only?

No longer made. Ebay is your best bet. Sometimes sellers sell complete control panels on Ebay. They'll usually show pics of the top and the underside of the cp that they are selling and I've noticed that alot of them have leaf switch joysticks so you may have to buy a complete panel to get your leaf stick/sticks if you're in a hurry. Alot of the sellers are arcade owner/operators or repair men. Just e-mail them and ask them if they have any that they will be putting up for bid. Sometimes they'll even sell you stuff outside of Ebay.
Good luck

If you're talking leaf switch, try this:

If you're looking for microswitch, here's a current auction:

Has anyone bought any leaf joysticks from
www.videoconnect.com
recently?
When I last spoke to them about a year ago they were no longer selling the more desirable 4 way sticks. However the 4 ways are still listed on their website albeit at a much higher price.
They would still be my first choice if you're after the 8 ways.
