wacky wico 4 way
KonkeyKong:
for some reason I can't get the search to bring up anything dealing with 4 way, so I'm gonna go ahead and ask... I bought a NOS Wico 4-way a while back, but I can still hit diagonals with it. Here's what I know:
1. It's authentic, says Wico Corporation right on it.
2. Has a diamond shaped hole in the top plate as opposed to a round hole.
3. Has an actuator different from all my Wico 8 way sticks, straight cylinder, no "step" in it.
any advice as to how to eliminate the diagonal action?
torez:
That "diamond shape" hole has 4 edges or 8?
While the joystick is out, hit the diagonal and see if it activates any switches. It should activate two of them for diagonal.

not great pictures, but...
the actuator on the right is from the 4 way

The diamond shaped hole is there so that two switches will never contact at the same time. That's the whole idea behind a 4-way stick. The "straight" actuator will not physically let you contact two switches at the same time.
Hopefully this helps.
