Hi all,

I'm tinkering with an old but almost unused MS joystick, it's the most basic of them, possibly sidewinder family I think from very distant memory, x & y axis, slider throttle, and a handful of buttons on top of stick only - no hat switch.

Does anyone happen to know what value pots I could use as replacement for a new build to a new use for the interface board?

The tiny plastic pots it uses for X and y axis are a pain to work with in any other hardware application. The small metal one is better, but not by a lot!

I'd like to use something a bit more regular in style, and more easily replaceable would be nice.

Hope someone knows, as google has let me down so far.
