Ok I've put this up on my blog in full detail, so I'll put a condensed version here.
There are two different X-wing control sticks. There is the one that Wavey has a thread on: ANH X-Wing Control Column - Stick
And the one that I'm trying to hunt down the parts on that has the keyboard attached to it. See below pic.
Parts that have been identified are:
Possible leads on parts
Flanged silver tubes next to big red button:
No leads just theories
Control stick:
Parts that I have no idea about
Research: X-wing Control Stick - Prop Chop Shop Research
This "Keyboard Control Stick" as I have dubbed it is like the hero control stick. You only see it on screen for a few seconds in one shot.
