I found joysticks mounted on a control panel of a old arcade game I bought to convert to a mame machine!  :o

As a kid I used to go back and forth between Maine and Nova Scotia a lot via the M/S Scotia Prince.  It had tons of slot machines and such... and in one dark stairwell that barely ever got used there was a Satan's Hollow.  Sitting in the dark corner of an ocean liner stairwell gave the art and the red stick a whole new ambience.

Joysticks are used in anything from cranes to hospital machines. I've seen buttons that looked suspiciously like standard Happ buttons in vending machines, on ships, even on airfield walkways. I guess manufacturers can't afford to cater only to "specialised" industries and must diversify.

Well there is a point at least for those who have some of these items or can acquire them for free who haven't thought of taking the parts.  He's just making a list of what he's found to help others who might need these parts.
