the joy stick in the pics from ohemio is like mine. from the pics, it looks like the " wings" that the spring end are hooked to operate independently. mine have some tack welds on them, like the whole thing is welded together as a unit. can you hold the stick straight up and from underneath, move each "wing" ? . how does moving the stick side to side move each wing, if the wings are independent ? also, with the stick centered, each switch is open? i'd love to see a video of the stick moving side to side, seeing how it works. i hooked a spring from each wing up to the body. its working pretty well, but its not right. i dont want to pill it apart, grind off the added welds, and try to make it original unless i have a good understanding of how its supposed to work. better the way it is, than to have it not work at all. a short video would be awesome.
thanks much
