After a couple years of searching, I've given up on finding 4" Wico sticks that aren't red (specifically yellow, dark purple, blue). Given the two X-Men panels I have, I've got enough good working bases, I'm just trying to trying to remove the rust from the shafts on these things. Any solutions?

Thanks,
 
I put the mouse trap ball top and stick i a drill (very close to a midway stick) and used some autosol (metal polish) and a rag and looked brand new!

Yep yep, I'd avoid sandpaper if at all possible... Depending on how rusty they are, some NevrDull might do the trick.

I feel your pain with the Wico's though, I'm working on building a TMNT and I don't have any of the colours needed.
 
I just did the joysticks on my Robotron that were badly rusted. I did the drill trick but used 0000 steel wool instead of sandpaper, followed it up with metal polish and they look great.
