Title: Wico 4/8 Way Ball-Top Joystick
Post by: dmish82 on August 23, 2004, 04:18:44 pm

Hi guys,

First off, does anyone know if Wico is still in business? Also, other than Wico, where else can i find a good 4/8 Way Ball-Top Joystick?

Thanks,
Dave

Wico is still in business, but they don't make the ball-tops any more.  Also, they weren't really 4-8 way, you could get one or the other.  They're almost always on ebay, new or used.

Look for a seller with the username Nicade on ebay.

He's got alot of 4-ways at the moment, and I think had a few 8-ways up recently.

centsible amusements sells a passable repro of the classic Wico stick, it isn't QUITE as good, but it looks the same, and I believe the parts interchange.

Aren't those the Chinese knockoffs that got the bad reviews?
