Can you go 55 on THIS Wico Skinny Shaft joystick with a 4 way actuator.....If so, PM me. How much for an additional tall skinny joystick shaft. I've been trying to figure out which one I need for a Nibbler all weekend and I just can't get a good handle on the answer. But I suspect it's the taller skinny shaft.
 
I still have the 4 way stick we spoke about set aside while you determine if you need the short or tall handle.

For Nibbler you want a normal thickness 4-way Wico.

They originally shipped them with skinny Wicos, but found the shafts bent too easily (which is true for the skinny shafts, as they are easy to bend), so they changed them at the factory to ship with standard thickness 4-ways.

It's been discussed here before, as 1500points can attest, as I think he was one of the sources for that info, which he got from one of the game's designers. (I think it might be discussed in CrafyMech's Nibbler FPGA thread).
 
As andrewB states you want the Heavy Duty "thick" Wico 4 way for Nibbler.

To help op with sale. the Skinny short wico's are used in Taito games with metal control panels.
 
the info I shared came from Tim McVey who got it face to face with one of the devs.
but someone posted an image of the part list which showed their documentation called for the heavy stick, too. maybe that is in the craftymech link, i didn't save it.
 
I've been wanting to start hording Wico sticks lately. I don't have any, and I sold every one I have had. I don't have a single game that uses them...
 
Would the hap 2 way work well for galaga with matching bolt pattern? If so I'll take it. Can you please measure the bolt pattern so that I can see if it matches my galaga control panel bolt pattern?

It is close but not the same. The Midway joystick bolt pattern is 1/4 inch or so wider.
