Yes.  Ramcontrols.com has an excellent replacement.  If you really want your yoke to come back to life, buy the whole rebuild kit.  There is a link where somebody illustrates their rebuild.  Those rubber bumpers inside turn to mush so that they are hardly recognizable.  Kit is well worth it.

One more question Guys,

 

 Is there a source or replacement for the gear that goes on the Pot for the up and down movement. (small gear).

Sounds like a thermally induced problem. Seat of my pants says the little potentiometers, or a connection issue. Or maybe the big blue cap on the power supply? I know the pots and cap are on my list of perishable parts I've neglected to replace.

Kind of both directions up and down and left and right.  I recapped the boards a long time ago and I was going to try that to start along with resoldering the connectors.  I will try to get a video today. But it did’t look like the vector lines were moving but that the whole picture was jumping.

A video would sure help. Could you describe how it jumps (left-right/up-down or other way)?

I have a Star Wars upright with a Amplifone monitor. It has a wintron HV installed and had worked great for many years. It has been sitting for a about a year without being played.

 

 I turned it on to play a few games and the picture came up and looked great but after a few seconds the picture began jumping around and getting shaky. After about 5-10 minutes it stopped moving around and looked great again. Then after a few more minutes it started jumping around again.

 

 Can you guys give me a suggestion on where to start looking.

 

Thanks in advance for any help/
