Title: [request] Where to buy Wico Red Ball Joystick?
Post by: DarthNuno on October 25, 2010, 06:48:09 PM
I need one of them for my Berzerk. The same used in the last run latest Berzerk cabinets, and on the Frenzy cabinets, like this one  :arrow:

Well....coincidentally ......I received two brand new in box Wico leaf joysitcks today.

I won them.

On E-bay.

Germany.

From....... World of Arcade.

Trouble free this time ! And got a free Nova Star beer-bottle-opener-key-chain-fob to boot ;)

But I would wait for the Batstick that Chris Moore is going to reproduce.....just MHO of course.

There was a guy who converted an original bat joystick to leafs : http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=155207&highlight=bat+leaf

But back on topic:

He had 5 of these Wico's on offer, maybe he has more ?

They were pretty cheap IMHO, 15 euro's each.

They actually were 10 Euro each, shipping was 14 Euro for the two.... Still a very good price IMHO for brand new one's.

I don't know exactly. I would say the big one, as showed on the Frenzy picture... presuming different size exists?

Arcadeshop in Germany has some Wico sticks, but I don't know if they are the correct ones: http://www.arcadeshop.de/Ersatzteile-35-Balltop-rot-Wico_543.html
