Analog joystick question
I'm in the process of going through all four of the joysticks for my T-MEK and cleaning them up . When they were removed, I noticed a bunch of tiny little BB-sized bearings fell out. Looking through the manual/schematics and even Happs documentation, I can't seem to find any information regarding what these tiny bearings are for and (more importantly) where they go. Does anyone have an idea of what or where these belong?
Also, on the topic of these joysticks... can anyone give me some suggestions/recommendations for fixing/rebuilding/cleaning/tuning these joysticks? Other than the lubricating them, I'm not sure what I should be adding to the list of TLC. I know these sticks have potentionmeters, but I'm not sure what they do. Again, I've checked the manual, and there's not a ton of information on the maintenance of these sticks.
Any insight would be appreciated!
