Hi

I have a pair of Voltmace Joysticks (the newer desgin, grey plastic with
three buttons on each, one has red buttons, the other yellow) and I think
one has a damged/broken potentiometor which controls the x-axis movements,
when you leave the stick free, without holding it, it always sends the
pod/ship/character to the right, holding it to the left a bit counteracts
this movement and makes it stationary.  What I would like to know, is is
this the pot?  The mechanism of the stick and the wiring all seems ok.
What value/type of potentiometer will I need as a replacement?

Thanks,
