A friend gave me a flight control grip from, my research shows, an F-4. It
is, in any case, the real deal - A "SWITCH ASSY B-8-A" It's the stick
with the hat control on the back, a single trigger and three red push
buttons at various locations down the left side. It's been copied
in numerous variations for military-style PC joysticks One of the
buttons has the top sheared off on mine. Everthing else seems to be
fine.
I would like to adapt this to a modern joystick for a flight sim. I
need a replacement switch. There are very few web pages that reference
the part number, MS25089. I have contacted a couple of vendors, but
it's clear from reading their pages that they deal in commercial/
military quantities.
Does anyone out there have a favorite military surplus place that
would sell a single switch. I wouldn't mind a spare or two if they
are under a certain amount (few bucks).
Thanks,
