Wanted: x52 throttle replacement

[beazil]

Check the buy/sell forums at simhq (you have to register) but right now there's a fellow selling a throttle for the x52.

Many thanks swiss! That .pdf is broken but I have contacted them - hope for a reply soon.

Have you done this repair yourself?

@79_dev.... you won the lottery??!!

Uh - not yet.

I actually have a second throttle which I disassembled because the spiking/noise of the potis was driving me nuts.
The original plan involved replacing them with superior potis, which is a quest I underestimated quite a bit... - means, sourcing the same el cheapo potis isn't really a problem, getting better ones is.
Finding a decent slider is even worse. I think you could say I got a bit demotivated.

Where to buy:
I found a post in the net where a guy claims to have ordered PS potis from those guys:

In case you can convince polyshine to sell them directly to you, please let me know, I found an interesting item in their product line.

I got a reply from Polyshine, they're in H-K. They make the correct part as far as i can see (attached).

They are interested in "working with my Company" as they don't have a UK distributor. Unfortunately I don't have a Company and don't intend to start one. Its a shame there's no outlet over here.

Their Minimum Order Quantity is 1000 pcs.

I've sent a suitable "thanks but no can do". Unless someone else can??

I have an old complete X52 in good working order in storage I could send you for about $44au to cover shipping. Air freight in 10days by Australia Post. I was hanging on to it so one day I could make a custom fullsize control yoke with it..... that day has never come, so it may as well go to someone that needs it!

Let me know if your interested.

If that didn't work out, I have a throttle sitting around. I live in Germany, so all I ask is for you to pay postage.
