The 1.5's are easy to find. The 1.0's seem impossibly difficult. There are apparently FOUR different 30 mm threads. Regular nuts at 3.5 pitch, fine pitch ones at 2 pitch, usual pushbutton jam nuts at 1.5 pitch, and square D joystick nuts at 1.0 pitch. Since the single joystick is unlikely to sell for more than $89 on eBay (its list price is $500), putting much more than five dollars into the hardware would not be cost effective. We have a strict policy of no unhappy customers. I am open to a quick cash offer before I put this one on the Alvin pile. -- Many thanks, Don Lancaster voice phone: (928)428-4073 Synergetics 3860 West First Street Box 809 Thatcher, AZ 85552 rss: http://www.tinaja.com/whtnu.xml email: don(a)tinaja.com Please visit my GURU's LAIR web site at http://www.tinaja.com

They do sell some hardware spares for these. The online catalog is less than totally helpful, of course; you'd want to contact a local distributor who knows the interconnections. Ask about type K, 21426 family round hardware.

The fine ones can be difficult to >find. Get a different joystick. Cheaper and easier in the long run.

I wonder if this is the same size/pitch as the nuts used on 30MM proximity switches. http://www.automationdirect.com/static/specs/prox30mmat.pdf Under sensors->inductive prox->cables and accessories, they sell the 30 X 1.5 hex nuts. http://www.automationdirect.com GXM3PD2013 HEXNUTS F 30MM PROXIMITY SENSORS - PK OF 6 $10.25 Or if you know anyone that works at a job as an industrial electrician they probably replace 30MM prox switches and throw either the new or old nuts away.
