My DK Jr. 4-way stick is identical to a VS 8-way stick except for the restrictor.

Take the spring out and strech it (for a quick fix)

I had better luck finding springs for my Outrun at my local hardware store (ACE) rather than Home Depot or Lowes. ACE had a huge display with a ton of springs. The others mostly carry spring for screen doors and a few others.

Good luck, Patrick

Echo that.  I have better luck finding any kind of game parts at a regular hardware store.  Home Depot has a bunch of mowers, paint, carpet, refrigerators, fertilizer, lamps, ets.  Plus a small little aisle with a few bins full of nuts & bolts & whatnot.  Ace, and some of the independant stores, have great big hardware sections with all kinds of neat stuff, but no refrigerators.

Hoagie_one:
you could roll your own.  Just buy a mandrel (Metal rod) the same size as you need the spring, Put it in a drill and wrap wire around teh rod.  The harder the wire, the harder the springback.  They sell galvanized steel in 200 ft spools for like $5 at home depot.  You can get it in 12, 14, 16, or 18 ga, depending on how thick you need it.  Just match it up to the original spring.  wind it tighter for more spring, looser for less.
