WICO Ball Micro Switch Joystick 6 Player X-Men Konami

SOLD- Thanks guys!

I have 6 original WICO 8 ways from my X-man Konami Cab. These are the micro switch version found on the newer Konami multi players however they will work with TMNT, Simpson, Cowboys of Moo Mesa and others. The shaft is longer than the leaf version and does not require the extra routing step. They all work and look decent, they are not NOS and have been played. The yellow has a bad grommet and the Teal has a horizontal blem around it's equator. Looking for $125 shipped for all 6.

Butons, and Control Panel not included.

What are your plans for the control panel? That one is much better than mine, and good enough to scan.
 
I have plans to scan and repair the CPO and side art as well! The cab suffered massive water damage and could not be salvaged. However I carefully removed all the art before disposal. Heres a scan of the rare coin door decals that I have yet to edit.

That would be really awesome if the side art was scanned and it's just awesome to see more love for the 90's games. The grommet on the yellow joystick is worn on my machine too. It seems like Wolverine was the popular choice and by comparison Dazler didn't get used much.

As much as I like Call of Duty or the newest next gen Zelda there's something to be said about playing a button masher JAMMA game to the final BOSS in less than an hour.
 
I thought some one on these forums already had the side art scanned for the 6 player cab?
 
Are these really worth this much?

I don't mean that as a thread crap at all, I'm just genuinely curious/scared. I just purchased a 4-player X-men cab and was planning to eventually switch out the joysticks, but I hadn't really looked around yet.

Is there something special about the original sticks that makes them worth so much?

Edit: Wow, I just did a quick Google search and now see how expensive WICO joysticks are.

Yeah, they are. Actually that's a really good price for a full set of 6 shipped. You don't come across the right colors very often.

Look at it this way: at ~$20 a pop, these are still cheaper than buying new Sanwa balltop sticks. :)
