Another DAMN SEXY pair of original 4" Wico Robotron joysticks - $165 shipped
I have one more refurbished pair of original Robotron joysticks available. These are 4" 8-way Wicos, which are the proper sticks to use for Robotron with an original wood control panel. They can also be used with other cabs like MK, or other JAMMA/Jrok cabs with thick wood CP's. (I have a pair in my MKII cab with a Jrok board, and love them).
This pair is not like my other Robotron sticks, which have 4" shafts that I make by hand, by swapping red balls on to other colored 4" shafts. This pair has an original pair of Robotron 4" shafts, which have been polished to a high shine. It also has the gray 8-way bases (rather than black), which were used on early Robotron production cabs. They have the earlier 'Patent Pending' message on the bottoms of the bases instead of the 'Patent #4,436,971' text found on later Wico bases.
Details:
- All parts thoroughly cleaned, washed, and dried.
- Screws, springs, and washers have been tumble-cleaned and polished. Like new, zero rust.
- Shafts have been drill-sanded and polished.
- Knobs have been polished, but have some light marks from normal wear.
- Includes new repro modified 8-way actuators from Paradise Arcade. See here:

- Proper 8-way bases have relatively low wear, and are in excellent shape.
- Leaf switches are in excellent condition, cleaned, straightened, with no broken tabs, and no solder residue.
- Includes new 2-lb repro soft grommets from fleetwood472. (I purchased the last of Justin's 2-lb grommets, which are the preferred ones for Robotron. These are among the last pairs I have left.)
- Includes new repro Wico dust washers from This Old Game.
This is one of the nicest set of original Robotron sticks I could possibly put together, short of NOS.
$165 shipped in the US for the pair. Int'l shipping extra.
