source for joystick pots?

does anyone know of a good cheap source for joystick dual (x-y) pots? i'm NOT interested in the style that effector13 uses in their feedback pedal. www.effector13.com more interested in a silver metal stick-like style.

Digikey carries a couple of mini joysticks.

I've got an old joystick...doesn't work anymore.

What could I do with it?

Well what does it do then or how is it not working ?

No idea. It's the kind you plug in to a computer to play games with. Pretty old, got it for 3 bucks a while ago because I figured there must be something interesting inside it. Put it away and forgot about it till now. IIRC one of the axis doesn't work though.

the ones on digikey might work...i'm looking for something similar to this http://www.classicgaming.com/gamingmuseum/ComrexCommander.jpg amazing!

or an aluminum style...i also would like a non-centering type. i'll keep looking.

Horribly expensive though.
