Measured the dimensions of the spring inside the #joystick of the #vectrex :vectrex_mb: so I can source it more easily, because I like to do things the #hardway (sometimes) instead of just ordering some from #console5.

wire diameter: 0.8mm
outer diameter: 8mm
number of laps: 1
torsion angle: 60°

Lesson learned. When replacing the igniter in my pellet stove, check the inline fuse BEFORE pushing the insert back in the fireplace! OTOH, the new igniter will last longer with this configuration!
