Vintage MRC Signel Stick joystick dissasembly
Hi,
I have an old MRC single stick transmitter that I have converted to 2.4. The issue is the joystick internals are plastic and it has aged and broke the other day.
I believe it was built by Futaba for MRC back in the mid 1970s.
I am planning to 3d print replacement parts but I am having issues trying to figure our how to disassemble the joystick simply because it has a potentiometer for the rudder on the end of the stick with the wires running down the inside of the shaft.
The part that holds the rudder POT is larger than the bezel and so it will not fit.
Any ideas? Does it screw together?
Thanks,
Evan
