Wow! I thought in the event of a nuclear holocaust the only things that would survive is cockroaches and ch sticks- guess i was wrong.  



When I was at CH, we noticed a particular trend with sticks being sent in due to broken handles/gimbles.  For some reason, over 60% of these broken sticks came from Canada and out of those, at least 2 out of 3 came from British Columbia.  We could never explain why.

You might be able to get parts for it from CH. Hell I changed the pots on mine about 2 years ago. I think they sell the gimble and springs for it on their site.

I still have an analogue CH stick and an older Thrustmaster set of rudder pedals. I now either have to get an old sound card with a joystick port or just break down and buy another stick in order to play aircraft games again.

At CH-Hanger there used to be a program that allowed you to use the old analog CH gear and Speedkeys in XP, though I can't tell you how well it works, if at all.

You can also buy an analog to USB game port adaptor if you don't have an old legacy analog game port.
