self-contained wiard joystick with banana jacks

Re: self-contained wiard joystick with banana jacks

2007-03-23 by Bill Sequeira

It was produced by Grant Richter/Wiard. It was (is?) a limited run
of 5v bananized joysticks w/manual trigger, operating from an
internal 9v battery. Contained inside a small wood box, the box
finished with grey faux "rock" paint - think Grant used to call them
rock boxes.

Don't know if he makes them anymore - got a couple at the time and
have proven useful as extra modulation/manual control sources.


Regards,

Bill

    They used to be available from Wiard Synthesizer. Grant sold them for
    awhile and could probably be convinced to make one for you. He had a
    bunch of the boxes around that he used.

    Ha, thanks... and great pictures they are! I will contact Grant, for sure, but I'll still be looking for one on the secondhand market.
