Working Joystick wanted

[dan@cafws2.eng.uci.edu (Dan Harkless)]

	Hello.  Does anyone have a _working_ joystick for the Apple ][ series
(16-pin or 9-pin okay) they'd be willing to part with?  My little brother's
joystick is having a problem I've seen a lot with Apple sticks.  When you
press all the way to the left, the hardware will think you're pressing to the
right, and if you press all the way up, it reads down.

	The Hayes joystick I bought with my //e did this from day one (back
then I didn't know they all didn't act like that), and so does the Apple
stick that came with the //e I bought for my little brother.  And his CH
is doing it too.

	My brother wants to buy a working joystick.  He'd buy a new CH, but
those guys don't make their Apple sticks anymore, and the IBM ones have
different pot values along with the different connectors.  I guess Gravis is
the one remaining company that makes sticks for the Apple 2, but at the one 
remaining source for them that _I_ can find, Quality Computers, they're a bit
expensive for my little brother.

	If anyone out there has a working stick they'd be willing to sell,
please email me.  CH or Kraft-style joysticks are preferred.

	Alternatively, does anyone know of any adjustment you can make to 
rid joysticks of this problem?  The centering trims don't do the trick...
