Title: Wico part number
Post by: Timoe on May 09, 2006, 02:56:06 pm

Anybody know the part number for a complete Wico Leafswitch joystick?


What about just the leafswitch?

Wico is out of business, and they were out of leaf joysticks for years before that.  Any part # would be invalid now.

oh yeah, negative nelly?

Well I talked to a guy today who has an inventory of Wico products.  I asked him for some leafswitch joysticks or joystick leafswitches and he says, "eh, you gotta part numba?"

And I says to the guy, I says, "no"  an He says, "git me a part numba" and "call back tomorrow when the parts guy is in an we can check fors ya"


So dont go crushin' my dreams so fast, ya parts hoarder :o

In that case, old buddy, old pal, maybe as long as you're buying stuff, you could do me a favor and pick some stuff up for your bestest friend?  :angel:

You're probably right in that he might have some newer Wico stuff but the leafswitch stuff is somewhat unlikely. 

I didnt get a chance to call on Wednesday.  I hope to try on Thursday.

 :notworthy:

yeh you were right with your "everyone already knows that wico is out of bidness" stuff.

They dont have and cant get the joysticks.  They do have 15-20 replacement leafswitches though.

:D

They can be found fairly often on fleabay. Just make sure you're buying genuine Wico and not "Wico Style" or some other flavor of cheap knockoff.

I got a steal of a deal on 3 blue NOS 8 ways for $30 a little while back.  So really, I'm set.

I just want to hoard parts. 

Like some other people, ya know.  I'd just like to have and arkanoid spinner, a tempest spinner, a tron spinner.    ... You know, just sitting on my desk.  I'll never install them or use them, just take pictures of them and what not... :D

Would the Tron spinner be working, then?
