Re: Joystick question

The short answer is... You cannot. Up until a year ago, Wico still had
long-shaft sticks. I know because I ordered some out of their outdated
catalog, and instead of red ball sticks, I got Purple (or was it
blue...). Anyway, I called to complain and was told that they had many,
many long-shaft joysticks in all colors BUT red.

Then, Wico sells most of their back inventory to some Russian guy
(someone in Chicago please correct me) and that guy has since
disappeared.

If it helps, I will make a quick diagram of the 'correct' shaft
dimensions so you can spot some used ones.
