The throttle is now back together and is working
The pcb that has the top hat and buttons. I used a hacksaw blade to cut through the printed circuits on both sides.
the round IDE cable I used for wires, and the button housing
Wires fed through levers
now complete with Bodnar board housed in the box on the back of the throttle
view from the other side showing feed from the pedals
now all that remains is to put my X52 handle on the MS Sidewinder
