TMNT Xmen or Simpsons 3.5" Wico leaf joysticks set

I have a set of 3.5" Wico leaf joysticks for sale. The set is for 4 sticks of the proper colors for either TMNT/X-Men (blue, red, yellow, purple).

Or, I can also make it a Simpsons set by swapping out the yellow and purple shafts with the orange and green shafts shown. (The extra shafts are not included in the sale price, i.e., you get 4 complete sticks total.)


The sticks are fully refurbished, and in excellent condition. Full summary:

- Refurbished 3.5" shafts, which have been drill sanded with fine grit paper and polished to a high shine. Balls have been drill polished also.

- 8-way bases are used, but not excessively worn, and are in perfect playing condition.

- Bases have been thoroughly washed and scrubbed clean. No grime.

- Sticks have NEW grommets from Justin (Fleetwood472). Ideal stiffness (soft), and feel AWESOME.
(See http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=353131 for details.)

- Leaf switches (not shown, but included) are used, but have been cleaned and tabs straightened (no solder residue), and are in good working condition. (This set actually comes with 16 copper switches, whose copper tabs don't break off as easily, and are a little nicer, IMO.)

- All hardware (springs, clips, screws, washers), has been tumble-cleaned and polished, and have NO rust.

- Dust washers are included.


$215 shipped in the US for the set of 4. (Int'l shipping extra.)

Alternately, I can do these with original used Wico grommets instead of the repros. These grommets are in excellent condition, almost like new, with no cracks. They are stiffer than the repros, and are what these sticks originally came with. In this case I can subtract my cost for the repro grommets ($40), and basically give you the used grommets for free, as I have a bunch of them. Thus the price in this case would be $175 shipped.

Simpsons yes, TMNT/X-Men not as much. The purple shafts in particular are usually the hardest to come by. And even then, a lot of them are faded, and don't look that great.

The one in this set is especially nice, as the purple is nice and bright, moreso than usual. Plus the copper switches are a bonus.
