Short skinny, 8-way Wico leaf joystick (Zookeeper, Taito), refurbished - $65 shipped
I have one refurbished Wico skinny 8-way leaf joystick for sale. This is the stick commonly used on Zookeeper and other Taito games.
Details:
- Thin, short/skinny shaft stick. (4 1/64" total length.)
- Shaft, actuator, dust washer and e-clip are used, but have been cleaned, and are in good working condition.
- Shaft has been drill sanded and polished.
- Knob has been polished, but has some scuffing, due to normal wear.
- Shim washer has been added below e-clip, to remove excess slop (which these sticks often have).
- All other hardware (leaf brackets + screws) has been tumble-cleaned and polished, like new.
- Has correct thin shaft base, with proper-sized thin-shaft 8-way round restrictor holes on top and bottom halves of base.
- Restrictor holes have low wear.
- Includes correct 0.600" cone-shaped 8-way actuator.
- Leaf switches are in excellent condition, have been cleaned of solder and flux residue, and straightened. (You will need to adjust them once the stick is installed.)
- Includes new repro thin shaft grommet from Arcadeshop.
- Includes original Wico thin shaft dust washer.
This is a nice quality, complete stick, looking for a nice restoration project. Many skinny sticks are often piecemealed together and have incorrect parts (e.g., thick shaft bases), due to ops just throwing them together. I have taken care to make sure this stick contains all of the correct parts for a skinny stick.
$65 shipped in the US. Int'l shipping extra.
