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, 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 light nicks etc, due to normal wear.
- All other hardware (leaf brackets + screws) have been tumble-cleaned and polished, like new, no rust.
- 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.)
- Leaf switches are the copper type, so the tabs are a little more robust against breaking.
- Includes original Wico thin shaft dust washer.


This is a good quality stick, looking for a nice restoration project. Many skinny sticks are often pieced together and have incorrect parts (e.g., thick shaft bases), due to ops assembling them wrong. I have taken care to make sure this stick contains all of the correct parts for a skinny stick.


Also, I have a set of leaf buttons for Zookeeper. These are short white leaf buttons, with the corresponding deep leaf holders and switches, for a metal control panel. The buttons are new (NOS). The leafs and holders are used, but have been washed, and had all solder and wire residue removed from the tabs. PAL nuts have been tumble polished.


Stick is $65 shipped.

Set of 4 buttons + leaf holders + leafs + PAL nuts is $40 shipped.

Take both for $95 shipped.

Shipping is in the US. Int'l shipping extra.
