[request] Where to buy Wico Red Ball Joystick?

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:



Nothing on ebay for the moment  :-\ Maybe a shop somewhere? Any help  ???

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?

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

...maybe one for sale?  ::)

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

That too is just the shaft, not the complete joystick...
