Closed Wico joysticks repair/refurbishing

[fabbie54]

Hi all,

I have three spare joysticks that are faulty, they are all from Wico.
- one Boss joystick, an internal plastic part broke while in shipping, the shaft doesn't register at all.
- and two Command Control joysticks that only register one direction. The top fire button works on one, while on the other both buttons don't function.

I am looking for someone who could either repair/refurbish those for me, or give me advice about repairing them, or particularly in the case of the Boss joystick provide me with parts. I am open to suggestions too.

I am familiar with these joystick as I own a bunch of them and have used them since 1983.

I need photos to tell you if I can fix the problems you have.

Thanks. I'll try and gather photos and details over the weekend.

I have one that I offered here on Amibay (a few years ago) but I didn't offer it to international buyers and with no local (USA) buyers the thread was closed:

Send me a PM if interested but keep in mind the international shipping cost will be much higher than the price of the item! :roll:

Sorry for the late reply, I only just noticed your post.
I have too many joysticks as it stands. Thanks for the offer though!
