Atari Rescue Group Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I've seen lots of Wico controllers in my wanderings, but never this one. A bat design tabletop model which is tilted towards the player...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 You have the Joystick Deluxe, Model num: 15-9708 as seen here in a Wico controller catalog and here is a picture of the regular model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urchlay Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I've seen lots of Wico controllers in my wanderings, but never this one. A bat design tabletop model which is tilted towards the player...... That looks pretty neat... how well does it do as a tabletop unit? Does it actually stay put, or do you still have to hold it in place with your other hand? You have the Joystick Deluxe, Model num: 15-9708 as seen here in a Wico controller catalog and here is a picture of the regular model. I don't suppose that catalog has been scanned and posted on a site anywhere? Would love to see the whole thing... Or is it still available from Wico themselves (they're still in business, but can you get a 20+ year old catalog from them?) Failing that... I've got two Wicos you might be able to identify (but no camera to take pics of them). One's a standard bat, except the bat has vertical grooves in it, and the base of it has a black ring you can rotate to gate it as a 4-way or 8-way stick. The other has a standard base, but the stick isn't a bat... It's still red, with the white button on top, but the top of the stick is flared out, looks like a flight stick. Unfortunately the button it sill on top, not a front trigger, so it's not as cool as it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the three-way deluxe joystick 50-2010, the stick on this one pulls off and can be changed out for pistol, grip, or bat. The other has a standard base, but the stick isn't a bat... It's still red, with the white button on top, but the top of the stick is flared out, looks like a flight stick.

Hm, I should go back to the shop where I got it, see if he's got any of the other sticks. This is the Power Grip 50-2020. Unfortunately, this one's got a loose stick, so it can rotate freely. I don't know how to fix this, but it's really annoying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsolo2000 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Does anyone know just how many varities of joysticks were made for the 2600? It seems that every day another one turns up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have one of these as well, I don't think yours is loose, they were like that by design. God only knows why because I found it just as annoying...
