you still buy 40 of these ...!

... and those would be 40 NOS Wico sticks !

The guy I bought these from worked at Wico when they shut down.

(...unfortunately, he didn't have any 4" Robotron sticks,
but these 3.5" stick will do almost as well ...  )

He said he "saved" more than 1000 of them from being trashed
when the factory was being closed down.

He was tired of having 400lbs of joysticks in his basement
so he put them for sale on eBay.

(... I just negotiated a bit of a bulk purchase .  

Great, ... just what I need to go with my 12 dead G07 chassis !  

Cheers,
Steph

They're already in good hands...

Our friend James (Grauwulf) has been busy at work fixing the first box-full I sent him,
and he'll be getting another box-full tomorrow !  

I should be set for life once he's done !

Cheers,
Steph

Whats up with the whiffs of smoke in some of the pictures?  The seller was smoking something for sure, asking 7k for that lot.

... when you buy empty converted cabinets and try to bring them back to their former glory at a huge loss...

hence Robotron cocktail, Tempest cocktail, Atari Football, and I can go on and on...

And the worst thing... I would do it again and again!!!
