those sticks above look like atari joysticks, perhaps hall effects ?? not sure but they are worth alot if they are. The wico leaf sticks used aren't worth as much, even NOS they generally only go for 30-50ea. A used one will probably be in the 20 dollar range. Micros don't seem to be worth anything being that you can still find an abundance of micro wicos for 20-25 bucks for a NOS one.

Where could I find more info on the top joysticks?
What kind of value are you talking mrclean?
I could take one apart to see if there are any identifying marks inside, I see none outside.

I put on my cheaters and looked at the top of the sticks and what I assumed was just roughness from heavy use was the good old Atari logo!

All 7 are used and need cleaning but the leafs are intact and appear to make good contact and the sticks are complete.
   
So what are these sticks worth? Anyone interested in buying?

Someone gobble these up, I'll try ebay this weekend otherwise.

ARCADIAC!

Just like I said.. atari joysticks ! gene at vintage arcade has them on ebay used from gauntlet here is an idea of what they are worth :

Ebay Item number: 260333796992

Yours looks like they are in better condition, and if they "center" probably worth maybe 20ea ? not sure. I know the Hall Effects that are used in Road Runners jump up.. are they all 8-way or do you have 2-way ones ?

Mine center and appear in much better shape than his. 

They appear to all be 8-way in that they trigger 2 switches at a time when pushed diagonally.

How could I find out if they are Hall Effects (assuming that's a brand name)?

Would it pay to take them apart and clean them up?

$20 a reasonable asking price?

Sorry for all the questions but since the sale or trade of these will go towards Kev's arcade machine I obviously want to get as much value as I can.

Anyone else wanna give an opinion here?

Thanks! ARCADIAC!

They are not Hall effect sticks.  They are Atari Logo leaf sticks.  Hall effects would replace the leaf or microswitch and make the stick an analog type stick.

BUMP for prices added, updating Atari stick description and needing to define what a reasonable offer is NOT ---- for those who just don't get it!
