Thanks Martin - yes, not seen any of them available on any site or list. You are confirming my fears that this will be a fabrication job.

The potentiometers are fine, just the rocker assembly and X/Y fused because the previous owner super glued it up when he snapped it off (great huh).

I've managed to release the X/Y mechanism but had to sacrifice the circular disc.

I think I'll have to fabricate a replacement disc, stick the joystick back in, and then think about how to mechanically join the potentiometers(which will probably need some precision dremel work).

A project at least... but I have soooo many on the bench at the moment before I can use in studio.

Thanks again

As far as I know it's the same joystick but you will be very hard pushed to find one. They are rare. Also the potentiometers have a bypass built into them. There are no modern replacements that I know of for the potentiometers..

Hi group - does anyone know if the poly800 and poly61 share similar joystick assemblies, or of a mechanically compatible (or at least modifiable) replacement - I bought my p61 with a broken X/Y rocker and I'd love to replace it.

Cheers

Yes! What is wrong with your joystick. Is it the potentiometer or the stick?

you'll have to scout ebay for one, and hope it's not faulty either.

we usually either fix the problem or install a replacement 10k joystick back in.

What's wrong with yours?
