Don't take it personally. $148 just seems like a lot to get a Wico keypad. Ultimately, if you are happy, then all is good.

I am curious: Does that Wico joystick work fine? I have two that have bad pots and they are expensive to replace.

Where can you get replacement pots? I have a few of these that are bad too and I'd like to repair them.

I will have to do some research. I looked at one time and found some at a site that sold guitar parts, of all places. It seems that the same pots that Wico put into their controllers are used for something to do with guitars or tuners. As I remember it, the pots were priced at $25 a piece. Considering two per controller, and it becomes just about as affordable to buy controllers themselves off ebay.
