| Searcher7:
Does anyone here still make reproduction joysticks, and possibly some of the associated parts that usually go with them? I need are joysticks made to non-standard specs, for a unique project that I'm working on. I suppose that I could use standard joysticks, but I'd have to cut(shorten) the shafts, find cover plates/disks, and C-clips, as well as find a way to cut the slot in the shafts for the C-clips. Not to mention finding rubber grommets. Thanks. Darren |

Perhaps if you were to tell us what kind of joystick...? There are an awful lot of different joysticks out there... |

your local high school probably has a lathe in its metals shop. Call them up and ask them if they have some students who could modify your joystick shafts for you. You'd be willing to pay $5 each for their trouble... Any machine shop should have what you require and be able to do it. |
