Have you ever tried to contact the previous repro maker of those, @g3n3r1c (perm banned), Jeremy?

There will be plenty for everyone.
No, he's an asshole. I also don't need him, as I've been in touch with Fleetwood, and will be doing another run with his original molds. The problem is that the factory is still shut down, and I'm just waiting to get the ok when they reopen.
I am not making a list, but there will be a new thread when they happen. There will be plenty for everyone.
Has this repro project gotten any more traction?
Yes. Not sure if the stiffness will be better(hope so), but the AS ones are very stiff.Will these work with the Arcadeshop joysticks?

They're identical. The grommets are for strongmen.They should work, in theory. I haven't played around with the repro AS sticks at all, but as long as they are made to identical specs as original Wicos, the repro grommets should work fine. And they will improve the feel, as the AS grommets are too stiff.
That's great news. Any chance of working together (with AS) so they update their sticks? I will buy a few direct to replace my old sticks, but would also like to buy some new sticks and don't want to have to buy from AS and then also have to buy more grommets to fix them.They should work, in theory. I haven't played around with the repro AS sticks at all, but as long as they are made to identical specs as original Wicos, the repro grommets should work fine. And they will improve the feel, as the AS grommets are too stiff.
They do, I actually put some fleetwood grommets into AS Wico's and they are buttery good on my Robotron.They should work, in theory.
