I have a Mitac joystick. It is identical to the Franklin joystick, with the blue/red buttons and the trimmers.

A few years ago, the joystick module gave up. I stupidly tossed the module, but kept the rest of the case, including the buttons.

I see many of the more modern joystick modules for systems like Arduino, XBox, PS4, etc. But, none of these fit the Mitac enclosure. And, they appear to be digital. The closest thing I can find is the modules for the 1970s/80s era RC controllers like Futaba. I was thinking of buying one of these receivers and stripping the parts.

Are there places on the Internet who still have the old 80s joystick modules for sale?
