Recently purchased a cabinet that had been converted to 1943 Battle of Midway, but had the red round ball top joysticks.  They are Wico Leaf Joysticks.  There were (2) in my control panel.  I have taken them off my control panel, so I thought I would take a couple of pictures and post them for you.  I have not cleaned them up yet.





Hope that helps.  Let me know if you have any questions.  I am not restroring the 1943 as it was converted at least once.  It was in a Taito cabinet

I don't have NOS, but these aren't in terrible shape. There is some rust on the shafts that needs cleaned up, plus they just need cleaned over all. (No dust washers, btw)

I did try to take the rust off the red one with a dremel and it looks better, just not smooth or polished.

You can have it for the price of shipping if you don't find any elsewhere. (I'm not sure how much shipping would be, but could find out)

If you need a better pic, I could take one later
