I loved the Joy stick on the PA80, particularly in working the leslie effect on the organ sougns.  I also had a Roland G800.  After one week the spring on the joystick broke.  I would have had to be without it for a couple of weeks, so I took it apart, cut the spring at the broken place, threw away that end, and put it back in.  It worked, but it was pretty stiff!
