0078265317 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I broke the y cable for my wico (5200 version). The 15 pin connector snapped off. But it was custom anyway. I didn't make it. Don't know why they never made it 15 pin to begin with. None one ebay or amazon right now. If can't find any I might sell it. But what is a fair price to start with?

bohoki Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 a few wires in my y broke so i made a new one its not hard if you can solder and follow directions it just looks ugly the reason they use a y cable is because there is no start button the reason they use a 9 pin is because that is what they have lying around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Pay what you would be willing to pay . But considering that they are not easy to come by you might have to shell out some extra . I would guess somewhere from 20 to 30ish would be acceptable . If you don't want to pay that much and want to hold out until you find something cheap and be flustered while you wait for a deal then wait . If one comes up on ebay I would just snatch it up .

0078265317 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 OK, I found one but he is asking way too much. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WICO-Command-Control-Joystick-and-Y-cable-for-ATARI-TESTED-WORKING-/251728632171?pt=US_Video_Game_Controllers&hash=item3a9c32196b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0078265317 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 I also found this but they're out of stock right now. http://www.goatstore.com/Products/Atari/5200/?product=121920 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0078265317 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Or is it possible ti build a small box like masterly but specifically for the wico. Or I already have a 15 pin y so just a box with 9 on one side and 15 on the other. Nothing fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohoki Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 sure you can put it in a box but boxes cost money molded plugs are cheap i just goo mine with hot glue also you do not need to connect pin 1 the joystick does not need the 5 v on pin 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 But a box is more permanent and idoesn't break like a cable. And plastic boxes are cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 I finally tracked down a Y cable. But every time I add to cart and enter zip code and say recalculate it emptys cart. http://4jays.net/store/page72.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Never mind I figured it out. It says zero and then you have to select 1 and put in zip code and then recalculate. Not sure why its zero after adding tot he cart. But just enter 1 and then recalculate. But with shipping its 26 dollars and 80 cents. So I'm going to pass.

Seems like you want one really bad . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
