I accidentally broke the tab off of the leaf switch on my 8 way wico joystick for my latest project. I have only found one place that sells them, and they charge $5 for orders under $50, and want a lot to ship them as well.
I only need one, but would like to get all 4 if possible.
So I am asking if anyone here either:
A.) Has at least one they would be willing to sell to me
B.) Knows a good place on-line to get them for a reasonable shipping cost
C.) Has an 8 Way Wico red balltop or similar leaf joystick that they would look to sell as well. Lizard Lick has one that is not Wico, but looks identical, but it is TOS at this time. And who knows when they will have it back in, but I will keep checking if I don't find anything else.
I was able to work out a fair deal with the supplier that has these. So I ordered 4 of them and a replacement Wico style joystick as an extra back-up since I wanted to replace it eventually to begin with.

Why not share your source? I'm sure other people have run into the same issues at some point in time?

Heh. . . didn't think about that.
Here it is: http://www.competitiveproducts.com/index.php
The guy I talked to is named Mike, he was very helpful. The extra joystick I ordered is on backorder, but he won't charge me for it until it ships. And also he is going to call me when they are back in stock before charging/shipping to make sure I am aware and not surprised about a "random" charge. I really like how he works so far. . .
