Title: LS-30 sticks loose. any suggestions on springs?
Post by: armax on April 22, 2005, 07:18:45 pm

I just acquired a pair of ls-30 joysticks.  They're a tad loose (it looks like the springs are worn out).  Any suggestions on sources for springs?  I don't need NOS, just any set of springs that will work to tighten up the feel of the springs.

I have some 16 ga full hard stainless steel wire.  I'm going to spool my own springs one of these days.  I have the same problem

I'll check home depot this weekend.  there has to be a spring out there that can be cut and retrofitted.
