Help Identifying Joysticks

XyloSesame:

So, the two in the top photo, IDed as Wicos, feel completely different from one another. One is soft (I mean super soft) and the other is incredibly stiff. Should I assume they have different springs, and just replace the springs like in this thread to get the same action from both?

And where do I find hahndles for these? I'm having trouble finding any in BST...

Kremmit:

Pop 'em apart and look at the springs.  You might have one one with a grommet instead of a spring.  If that's the case, the easiest thing to do will be to trade one stick to somebody for one that matches your other stick.  You might find that one stick is missing it's pivot cone or is assembled wrong.  In that case you'll have to replace the missing part or re-assemble correctly.  Or, you might just have a broken, incorrect, or worn-out spring, in which case a pair of new, matching springs would be your best bet.

re: Handles- look on Ebay for Wico handles.  You'll find balltops galore.  For replacement bat-tops, Happ Perfect 360 handles might well fit.  I don't have a set of those handles, so I've never tried it, but the P360 is the successor to the stick you've got, and many of the parts are interchangeable.  Might be a source for springs, too.
