Skyleader Charging Socket and Joystick Springs

Post by Mike_K »

Does anybody know the original manufacturer of the Skyleader charging/buddy-box DIN socket? Years ago I managed to get around a dozen unused ones from Galaxy Models Ipswich when they stopped doing radio repairs, but I've now used my last one and have another Skyleader in need of a new one. It was probably made by a long-gone British manufacturer, so I don't hold out too much hope but thought it worth asking.

Also, does anybody know a cheap source of springs the same as used in the Skyleader TSX joysticks, I've used my last spare ones of those too? I'm doing a Skyleader Clubman Super conversion and I prefer the feel of the TSX, the joysticks are mechanically the same, just with cheaper pots' and black shroud. I could rob them from a Digi-Fleet, but when I get round to converting that, I'll then have to find replacements.

Thanks Mike

Let me have the size and I can look it up for you. That's the place from where I'm getting all my springs

Couldn't you 3D print one to take a standard din socket Mike?
