For those of you who have the Olfe joystick with control cables, is there a website that explains, preferably with photos, the easy way to replace a broken control cable? Also, when turning in the brass collars onto the valve, what is the proper way to set the spring pressure? I just got through replacing one but kind of went through a lot of donking around to get the new Delrin plastic ends onto the joystick trunnion pin (or capstan whatever they're called).

I ordered a new control cable from Koyker, which they sent out, but no instructions for assembly. They referred me to another person who told me how to set the tension ... sort of, but no advice regarding attaching the cables. You have to "lock" the joystick and then screw on the brass sleeves until they are "snug" but not too tight or the joystick will not be centered.
I think Olfe is Italian made.
Has anybody done this?
Are there pictures or instructions available?
Thanks,
