Adjusting 49 way height...

watch out about how you cut the...white spacer thing.  if you use a saw or something, you'll lose a large (compared to the spacer length) amount of spacer.  i'd suggest using a steak knife or something...then again, i'm unsure of how hard the spacer is.  or find somewhere with spacers, and then make your own to specific lengths.  just make sure hat you conserve the total spacer length both before and after cuting.

well, i hope that made sense, cuse it doesn't sound like it did.

I happen to have a spare that I picked up cheap so I've been thinking on really hacking the heck out of it and trying some other stuff out along the way. Since it uses the same basics as a wico stick for centering I thought maybe one of the first things to try might be to cut that long spacer down to about 1" and use a spring much like the original Wico's did. See if it gives any more snap in the return to center. I have also toyed with the idea of cutting down the plastic base that sits between the circuit board and the joystick base to see if I might make it short enough to use some original Wico  balltops. If I can get it short enough I could replace the rubber grommet and use a regular wico spring. Of course, I could turn a perfectly good $12 Joystick into an unusable mess too :)
