Hey Polymorph,

sorry for sending my replies as mail to you, I obviously hit the wrong
button. I'm really for keeping things in the group and not going to
private mail, so be assured that this was quite uninintentional.

Linards,

no worries - I usually wouldn't read email replies as I have to
retrieve them from my junk mail folder (I filter almost everything  :-)
 ). However, retrieve it I did.

Thanks for your advice. Any ideas where you would obtain the 150K pots
for the old A2 joysticks? I can't seem to locate anyone with them in
stock.

And do check the amount of rotation of the pots to go from 0-150K.

A typical pot will require about 270 degrees of rotation for full
resistance, but a joystick usually provides only about 30-40 degrees,
necessitating use of a higher value pot.
