The flyer isn't on their website yet. It's the Besy Buy Sale until October 31st.
I just wanted to note to people horizontal buttons for $0.89/ea.
3" trackball for $43.99 part no 22-2197
Button plugs $0.55 part no. 22-1039
Eurostyle 8-way Joystick $7.99 part no 22-1076
And some decent prices on monitors.
$18.99 for a 104watt arcade power supply, many of you wil extra powered stuff could use that, witht eh Bits Smart Strip could be very handy.
I know Wico has a minimum order of $25.

has anyone here used these joysticks before? they look pretty cool. i'm making a 1-p cp for a friend, and these are dirt cheap... are these more like comps or supers?

Other than the shape of the handle, they are identical to the Happ Competitions.

FYI, the buttons on my cabinet are from wico. They work :)
-
Thanks for the info!
I better get all by controls within the next couple of months then -- at least I have until Halloween.

Correction on the Euro-style joysticks (part 22-1076) -- its $6.99 not $7.99!!!

Quick question... does Wico ship internationally? And how good are their shipping prices normally?

There's a minimum order of 25 buttons to get the .89 price, IIRC.

How come Wico only seems to update it's website once in a blue moon?
It wouldn't hurt to update the Specials flyer now and then, or to
update the pricelist; everytime I've called them they apologise for
the prices on the site which are a couple of years out of date by now.
How did you find out about the current sale?
-
They sent it to me.

How does the Wico 3" trackball compare to Happs?
-
It works :) I had one, it was pretty mice. For some reason it rejectted my mouse hack and my happs didn;t. But it was odd as kelsey (oscarcontrols) helped me figure it out. I even sent him my tball to try with his spinner mouse hack. It didn't work. He said he hasn't had any problems with other wicos. I just got unlucky I suppose.
-
i've got a quetion about the wico buttons. now i know they are shorter than happs, is there any trouble mounting them to a 3/4 inch cp with a 1/8 plex top?
-
they weren't shorter for me.
-
good deal.
i thought i read somwhere that they were. i guess i was mistaken.
thanks.
-
There are short and long buttons. I don;t remember, it;s been two years since I ordered from Wico.

I have both, and talked some about the differences in this forum before. Try searching "trackball wico" with oldest days set to, oh, 250.
In a nut shell, I like both the wico and the happs, but I like happs a smidgin more. The happs rolls longer and feels lighter, but is louder (and costs a lot more). However, both are good arcade quality TBs I'm glad to have.
