WTB: NOS Wico 4-ways LEAF joystick

<< < (2/3) > >>

Jeff AMN:
Ok mark...let's talk. How much do you think is fair for the stick (providing you are willing to sell it and not just announcing that you are lucky enough to have one)?

I realize it's a rare item, so paying a bit more isn't something I'm against as long as it's still fair.

Grasshopper:
Your best bet might be to buy a 4 way base such as this one here and then get the remaining parts from an 8 way Wico joystick.

It might also be possible to fit a 4 way Wico restrictor to a perfect 360 joystick. I haven't actually tried this so don't blame me if it doesn't work. However the perfect 360 and Wico handles are apparently interchangeable so who knows.

Timoe:
There's a guy on ebay who always has the 4 way base for $10.  And ponyboy has a grommet for $10 and replacement sticks for who knows how much.  It would be expensive but for $35 to $45 you could piece one together. 

If you go this route I will send you a dustwasher for free.

(any a you yahoos tryin ta get a free dustwasher can back off!  they're $1.50 for you!)

Nah, I'm gonna use it someday.  I wish I had bought a second one from Nicade sometime back, but I just assumed he would always have more.  He used to sell them for $25 each.  The last auction he had was two for $75.  I didn't need two more, so I passed.  Oops.

This is the route I might take, but I'm wondering if the feel will be identical to the old 4-ways if I do this. It sounds like a neat mini-project, but I want to be assured it's going to behave just like the NOS 4-ways if I'm going to spend that much time and money.
