wico 4 way joystick
leafblade:
hello,
I'm a newbie and I'm after a real original Wico 4 way leaf joystick.I am confused because I believe there are chinese clones which are of poor quality also being sold.
I've seen on ebay a seller called nicade selling "wico arcade leaf style 4 way joystick (N.O.S)"
Are these the real ones?
Thanks
paigeoliver:
Nope, the word style tips you off.
If the leaf switches are screwed on then it is a clone.
The clone has an 8-way actuator attached to a 4-way base.
The clone has leaf switches that break in under a month on location.
Much easier to find used than NOS. Look for the grey colored base and the diamond shaped cutout.

Thank you for your reply and help paigeoliver
I have just found that QuarterArcade has some Wico 4-way leaf joysticks ($34.95)
From what you've said these look like they are real but I still need to be sure
can you confirm this?
Thank you
paigeoliver:
They on ebay or their website? Link?
paigeoliver:
OK. I found them on their website. That is the real deal.
If you are just looking for the best and not a deal then get that. Otherwise you can often find them on ebay, but it is tougher. To snag the 4-ways cheap on ebay you have to pick them out of unlabeled lots, and off control panels.
