You say it we play it.

Photo #1 - Bottom of the shaft (~1/4" inner diameter) Hemispherical pivot with tabs still on shaft.

Photo #2 - Shaft tapped for screw to hold shell.  Both sides are tapped.

Photo #3 - Hemispherical pivot with tabs clearly visible, upper spring holder, spring, lower spring holder, e-clip. (left to right along bottom)

Photo #4 - Closeup of socket where hemispherical pivot sits.  Recess for tabs clearly visible.

EDIT: Photo #5 - The correct order and orientation for the parts when reassembling the stick.  Insert the handle/shaft, dust washer, and hemispherical pivot from above the base and the rest of the parts from below the base.

I wonder if we can get ethernet cable through one of these shafts, I'm going to need 7 wires for RGB plus rotary. Anyone know of anything thinner with that wire count?

I demand a custom trackball while you're casting acrylic.

Only if you let me use my Bedazzler Jim

pinballjim:
Eh.  Maybe?

I wasn't joking, but I get the impression from that accent you're overseas and shipping would kill the idea anyway.
