Found a few of these this week! Pretty neat to look through the pages and look at prices. The 1993 catalog has the Konami colored Turtles joysticks for $15 each.

I used to read those catalogs all the time like the old Sears Wish Books. :p

perks of growing up in the business I guess. by comparison, Happ's are nowhere near as fun as the Wicos.
 
I thought for the longest time they were "Wy-ko" until I was watching Randy Fromm DVDs and he included one of their ads at the end and the guy said "Wicco" ... blew my mind.

there used to be so many parts suppliers, and then Happ bought them all up.
 
Some more Wico finds. A few pages from a mini color catalog that features some WILLIS art options.

And some other cool generic art stuff from a company called J-S sales.

I wish someone could scan and post a full 80's-era Wico catalog, just for reference purposes.

I know it would be a lot of work, but it would be great for cross-checking part numbers and other details for various types of sticks and parts, etc.
 
I have a few of those. I'm in the middle of a home reno, but when I'm done I'll have time to put those out there. Maybe host them on a google drive.

I found the same J-S flyer at work. There's also a bunch of old catalogs from Competitive Products, Happ, Imperial, Mallory, Mazzco, Peach State, Radio Shack, Wico, etc but at first glance they all appear to be late 1990s at the earliest.
 
It would be nice if someone could scan a few of the 1980's Wico Catalogs or even the Peach State Distributing catalogs.
