Title: Are Wico 4-way leaf joysticks extinct?
Post by: benarcade on February 06, 2013, 04:09:50 pm

I've been looking for the past few days for someone who sells NOS Wico leaf joysticks and haven't found anyone. Do they no longer exist? If so, what's the next best thing? the groovygamegear Leaf-Pro?

I bought an X-Arcade dual that has taught me that I need a 4-way leaf.

You can get a NOS or a mostly NOS one, but no one has them in an online store or anything. local413 on klov can probably set you up with one. I could probably set you up with a used one.

I just found a couple I purchased a few years ago that I never used.  I have 3x 4-ways and 1x 8-way.  2 with Red ball tops and 2 with Blue ball tops if you are interested.  I'm planning on selling them at the Atlanta Pinball swap meet but I'll give you first shot.
