Title: Reproduction WICO 3/8 Grommets
Post by: fleetwood472 on August 23, 2015, 10:44:42 pm
Hey guys,

The day has finally come that reproduction WICO 3/8 grommets have been made. Bring new life back into you're old WICO joysticks. I have been working on this for a long time behind the scenes after having a really hard time finding replacements. The molds are modeled after WICO's latest run grommets. These have been made in soft rubber so you don't have to feel like you're going to rip your arm off while playing the games. The softness is modeled after the same desnsity of the original robotron grommets and are very soft. The reason I chose the latest style mold is because these aren't as susceptible to tearing around the center like the original robotron grommets. I've also had the holes made just under .375 to reduce the slop that was in the original grommets. Please PM with the amount you are interested in. I did one run of these and this will most likely be the only one done so once everything is gone this will be it.


Pricing information:

1 grommet $15.00
2 grommets $23.00


If purchasing 4 or more grommets pricing is $10.50 per unit.

Prices do not include shipping. Most orders will fit in a Priority flat rate small box @ 6.00. Due to having a very busy work schedule during the week I will ship orders at the end of each week.


These grommets will fit games like Robotron, Black Widow, Dig Dug, and Konami 4 player machines (both wico microswitch and leaf switch)


Konami 4 player games:
TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
TIT Turtles in time
Simpsons
Sunset Riders
Punkshot
Crime Fighters
Vendetta
Xmen X-Men

Ian,

I got you covered...  I just sent him a PM and cc'd you.  You need to post 5 times before PM'ing opens up by the way.

Free bump. These things are pretty nice.  I just put one in a Wico 4-way on my Mr. Do! and now I can play Mr. Do! without needing to ice my left shoulder down afterwards.   I also put one in a 4-way wico Chinese knockoff stick and it fit perfectly.

Hi Fleetwood,

Would you ship one of those to Canada?  I need one to fix an Atari Wico joystick I got. (seems to be the right fit)

I can't send private message since I'm knew, can you send me a PM on your side, to know the cost and how to pay?

Thanks
