WTB: 49 Way Joystick Part

[Stack15]

This is my first post...

I believe I need to purchase an optical board for an Atari 49 way joystick.  I mean the green PC looking board within the joystick assembly that the cord plugs into.  It has a part number of either 04-11135 or 5772-15356-83.  I think this is it here:

It appears to be a $7.55 part, but by the time I pay the $10 surcharge for being a small order and $15 shipping, that $7.55 part is costing me $32.55.  Is there a cheaper way to get one of these things?  Is there a "better" website that I'm just not aware of yet?

Here is there rest of the story:

I purchased a Gaulent Legends arcade game made by atari.  One of the characters goes to the right when the joystick is pushed left and goes right when the joystick is pushed right.  I disassembled the joystick and cleaned everything... this didn't help, but when I switched what I believe is the optical board with the one from the joystick next to it, everything works fine.

This is the part I need.  Thanks!

i'll check my parts bins at the shop tomorrow and see if there is a board there. i know we have a couple of cabs that use those joysticks but not sure about parts.

edit: those optos look pretty standard, you sure you can't find someplace to buy just an opto sensor (or scab a part from maybe a printer or old fax machine???)

FWIW, if you end up needing to order something, Divemaster127 on here can get basically anything Happ actually has at much more reasonable prices.
