Wanted: x52 throttle replacement

[JG52Uther]

I know when my X45 stick broke a few years ago Saitek sent me some replacement pots for free. A shame if they have changed their policy now.

Many thanks swiss! That .pdf is broken but I have contacted them - hope for a reply soon.

Have you done this repair yourself?

Uh - not yet.

I actually have a second throttle which I disassembled because the spiking/noise of the potis was driving me nuts.
The original plan involved replacing them with superior potis, which is a quest I underestimated quite a bit... - means, sourcing the same el cheapo potis isn't really a problem, getting better ones is.
Finding a decent slider is even worse. I think you could say I got a bit demotivated.

Where to buy:
I found a post in the net where a guy claims to have ordered PS potis from those guys:

In case you can convince polyshine to sell them directly to you, please let me know, I found an interesting item in their product line.

Unfortuneatly noone delivers that to Ireland unless I will pay 100£ wich is a price of whole new set. Any information about this will be appreciated, seriously can't find anything on the web...
