"ZipStik" Joysticks

The Zipstik joystick is regarded as one of the best retro joysticks from back in the day - and rightly so! Those shown below have been refurbished by myself to a high standard and are fully working. All have a standard DSUB9 connector suitable for C64, Spectrum (via interface), Atari, Amiga, Amstrad CPC464 etc. Note: Cannot be used in the Spectrum +2/+3's onboard joystick ports.
