Wanted: 16 Joystick Wico Leaf switches (USA/MA/CAPE COD)
« on: June 03, 2009, 08:38:53 pm »
Bob Robert's replacements are horrible! Spent about an hour trying to get one to fit flush in the holder, and do you think I had luck? no :( boo.

If anyone has even 1, I'd love to pick those bad boys up. I need 16 because they're all going towards my tmnt restore.

Bobs aren't a replacement for the Wicos, unfortunately.  :(  And no one makes repro ones.

I think I came up with a quick solution for bob's leaf-switches and the wico stick...

sand down the bottom edge so it sits inside the snap-in brackets, then find a small shim and insert it to fill the extra space. Not the best way to go about it, but it seems to work nicely. When my TMNT board comes in the mail I'll hook em up and give it a try!
