Title: Need WICO Joystick help.
Post by: djlove1rr1 on January 18, 2006, 04:25:18 pm

Searched Google, no good info found.

Can anyone guide me as to a joystick base that will accept the 3/8" WICO Ball Top Shaft. Needs to be 8-way base for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I bought the shafts with the correct color scheme for the game which is why I am using the WICO ball top. They are the only ones that I could find that matched up (purple color). I know there are joystick bases that take 10mm shafts, will the 3/8" shaft fit in these even though the 10mm is slightly larger than the shaft?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Wico shafts can be fitted to Perfect 360 bases.

I've heard that they will fit loosely in a Happ Competition.  Maybe wrap the shaft in a single layer of electrical tape?
