I really appreciate her bravery with trying something different.



I seem to recall an issue of finding any more joystick mechanisms - I thought she bought a ton of surplus, and used them up.
She still has the joystick mechanisms available for sale as DIY mod kits...something like 70 left. From what I gather, she is making moves to expand her designs ands business in some pretty exciting directions. Right now she is the only one assembling her output (outside of the Mangler?, I suppose).
People like Devi and 11 gauge, who make their stuff by hand and obviously put a lot of care into their stuff...I find it amazing that they are also willing to show you how they work,and how to help yourself expand knowledge and capacity to build...just plain generous with their time and ideas. You guys kick a$$!
