Lots of joystick questions

[paigeoliver]

I was considering asking the guy who sells replica handles on Ebay (n2new@aol.com) to make a handle for my STC 500. This would solve the dust washer problem.

Paige: I wasn't aware that Bob Roberts still sold Wico leaf joysticks with a long shaft. Can you tell me how much he charges, what colours are available, and more importantly does he still stock 4-way Wicos?

$20

Red (handles are new)

Not sure if he stocks 4-way or not.

Paige, thanks for your reply. When you say the handles are new, does that mean that the bases are not new? Or is he selling just the handles on their own?

Also, do you know anyone else who is still selling 4-way Wicos?

Thanks in advance.

Bob doesn't have Wicos anymore:

Sorry... sold out & even the Chinese gave up repro'ing them, so I guess it's catch what you can when they surface.

Oh, well if Bob is out, then get them wherever you can.

The ones I got from Bob had brand new handles, switches and centering grommet. The bases springs, actuator and E clip were old.
