Wico ball top size?

<< < (2/2)

spiffyshoes:
Hey Paige are you sure all of those auctions you listed have actuall wico's?


Did you ask this guy if they were wico's or ask to see a picture of the underside of the panel?  Just because they have a ball doesn't allways make them a wico.  Last time you gave me some links to some wico joysticks I asked the sellers for some pictures and info and it turned out like half of them weren't acutall wico's.

And didn't you say the kind that have the screw on Leaf Switches were just knockoff joysticks?

Ooops, on the last one you are dead right. I have just never seen the knock offs as anything other than new. Wasn't even looking for them in an auction for used sticks.

As for the High Impact control panel.

I can pretty much promise it. The High Impact kit came with 2 blue wicos and 2 red wicos. Everyone I have ever seen has Wicos, including the one in my game room.

Sometimes knowing what stick came with what games makes it easier to hunt them down. The odds of a High Impact having the wrong sticks that were the correct color and had the correct look are very slim.

paigeoliver:
As for past links. You are aware that there are 3 major distinct versions of the wico base, not all of them look exactly alike.

And that is just 3 versions that I can verify, since I own them. There are also color variations, and some minor variations among the main types.

The parts all interchange though.

spiffyshoes:
Yes I was aware.

Thanks for your help though.  It is appreciated.   :)
