STARHAWK JOY

Hi all,
I'm beginning to restore a starhawk.
under 30 years of dust I think I can find a cabinet in good general
conditions :)
anyway I'm here to ask you some information about joysticks. THey have been
removed and I can find only some parts in the coin box.
I'd like to find good detailed photos and/or someone wants to sell a couple
of them...

thank you,
marco

The blue is probably for Red Baron.
