I picked up a Berzerk project that has the Wico stick, but the stick is in bad shape. Wouldn't mind finding the original black bat stick. Anyone have a spare they feel like selling?

Thanks-
Joey
 
I saw an old post somewhere where someone was thinking about having the handles made, but with a shaft that would fit into a currently available joystick base. That would be nice, and I would buy one, but I wonder how many people would shell out for that project?

As always, it just depends on price, but I would be very willing to consider a bat stick shaft that fits into a Wico base.
 
A stick for the Wico base or maybe a stick that fits into a currently available (HAPP?) optical base would be nice.

Thing is, the Wico on mine is completely blown out. The stick just flops around like the springs/leafs are broken.
 
While there's plenty of value to having the original stick for originality sake, what I imagine many would settle for is to just have the big bat stick instead of the dinky Wico on there.

A compromise would be to have a perfect repro of the black bat stick, which would be felt and seen, but a modern retrofit for the base/optical assembly (using a Happ or whatever).

Then again, I suppose RAM Controls could somewhat easily (compared to the SW yoke) reproduce the whole stick assembly.
 
The original stick is pretty heavy duty. The base would have to be sturdy enough to take the stress. I had one on the bay a while back and I was surprised that it went for over 100 clams.

Anything, I guess, that doesn't have microswitches is good for me.
