Does anyone know if these joysticks are available anymore, and if so, where
can I buy them? Mail-order please, since it is quite a drive from Sweden,
wherever I need to go!

I had one of these some years ago (Like _before_ the C64.) connected to my
Nascom, and it is without a doubt the best joystick I have ever used.
(Apart from a homebuilt unit, based on a 650$ industrial stick that I
modified.)

I haven't seen them advertised since something like 1985, so if anyone
knows a source for them I would be very grateful.
