  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Are these 4-way or 8-way?

These are 8way, with the microswitch base assembly 4way / 8way operation is determined by the actuator used.
You would need a 4way actuator like this

unfortunately Bob does not have any more (I asked)

These would also make a good rebuild kit for your wico leafs sticks

same grommet
same stick
same dust washer

Are these 4-way or 8-way?

These are 8way, with the microswitch base assembly 4way / 8way operation is determined by the actuator used.
A real 4-way has a diamond shaped restrictor though.

Your statement is correct but only applies to the leaf switch variety, for the microswitch ones it is determined by the actuator used. 4way leaf wico's are not usually an easy or cheap find.
