This posting begs the question, "What exactly are you going to do with the old crummy analog joystick?" Maybe use it as an interface device or on a control console or maybe for picking and flicking boogers?
Heh Bonus, that's a good one.
What I am going to use it for is the Leland games that used a potentiometer to guide the flight of the ball (like in Quarterback, for example). It requires a spring-action release to launch the ball and that's exactly how those old joysticks behaved (if you let go of the stick from one of the corners it would quickly return to center).
Alan,
Thanks for the link, and that joystick is classic, but not what I need.
Bill,
I would definitely be interested, and you may e-mail me at Opossum412@hotmail.com with maybe a little bit more of a description if possible, so I can see if that's what I'm looking for.
Paige,
We discussed the potentiometer on the other board, and I believe that's what you're talking about. I figured I could do the job with a mod of one of these joysticks, so we'll see. I'll let ya know how it turns out.

Thanks all (except Bonus :-P) for your replies.
