WTB: NOS Wico 4-ways LEAF joystick
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.
