I have an incomplete teal - Joust stick that I can sell ya'.
It's missing a few things to it -- the bracket that holds the leaf-switches, as well as the e-clip, and washer for the shaft
I was going to try to find the parts to it and rebuild it complete, but ended up just stuffing it in a drawer.

PM me if you're interested.

arcadeshop & quartercade don't have the actual assemblies...

i'm most interested in the metal part on the right of the photograph i posted...

my goal is to rebuild my sticks(i have four used) so that they don't have any up & down play from years of use...

opt2not...
is that a used stick or new...?

It's used. 
Also, I just found the base.  So all it's missing is the screws to hold the thing together, leaf-switches, the shaft's washer and e-clip.
