Replacing Wico joysticks in a metal control panel.

(1/3) > >>

cmoses:
Does anyone know if there are any joysticks that have the same mounting holes as Wico joysticks?  I have a metal control panel and it came with (2) wico joysticks.  I cleaned them up a bit, but they seem to be a little iffy.  I am not ready to redo the control panel, but would like something that I can use that have the same hole pattern as the Wico so I can replace them easily.

shardian:
If they are 'iffy', then check the grommet for damage.  Those can be replaced if you can find a seller. WICO's are widely renowned for a good reason - they are damn good sticks, and built like a tank.

If you must replace them though, they have a standard mounting pattern.  A cheap Happ Super or Ultimate will bolt right in.*



*Feel free to ship to crappy WICO's to me.  At my expense of course. ;)

Ginsu Victim:
Mike's Arcade has plenty of replacement parts for Wico sticks

I recently ordered 2 sets of these:

and rebuilt 2 old Wico Leaf joysticks that are now working like new.

Interesting that Mike is repro-ing the grommet. I did not know anyone was doing that. There are still a guy or 2 here or on KLOV selling NOS grommets.
