Identify this Wico Joystick
markrvp:
I picked up this WICO joystick on Ebay. I have seen many posts discussing original WICO joysticks vs. Chinese knockoffs. Can anyone tell me if this is an original or knockoff?
I want a good Robotron stick and I understand they were Wico 8 ways. This joystick is restricted to 4-way, so could I rasp out the diagonals and have a good Robotron stick?
SirPeale:
It's an original. Says 'Wico' right on the bottom.
It's not like designer jeans that have like 'Leviis' on the tag or something.
Wyluli:
Yep, she is a wico. Not sure about your 8-way issue tho. Hopefully someone can provide some input for you.

A better option would be to find a used 8-way on ebay, and swap out the bases on the two.
That way you get all new guts/stick/switches/etc...
My fear is that if you just ream the hole, it may not feel right.
I personally have been really lucky at finding NOS 8-ways.
They are out there, if you watch for them.
There are alot of good condition used ones too.

Or check the trade board to see if anyone wants to swap bases. It seems a shame to modify an original.
