Happy New Year's guys...
The A320 FCU uses some unique momentary (non-latching) pull/push type potentiometers for the SPD, HDG, ALT and VS controls. Have any of you brave souls ever took an FCU apart to replace a pot or to give the springs/mechanisms a clean? I'm trying to find out the exact model number of one of those pots (not the knobs), or the name of the company who makes them (please don't say it's Airbus themselves!). This is for a home cockpit project. They're definitely available as a lot of home cockpit panel makers appear to be making use of components that feel just like the real thing.
Any help/steer greatly appreciated.
