Truly,
It's a chain of stores in the mid-west... They have it where my parents are from, too (Wisconsin).
ShopKo sells a bit of everything... They have a website at
www.shopko.com ...
Oooo... Just checked their website, and it looks like they have ones as far west as Salem and Eugene, Oregon!

The Best Joystick for any Commodore or Atari 8-bit system was the
TACH2
The TACH2 Joystick was the Penultimate Arcade gamming device. Sturdy, indestructable,
used MicroSwitch's If I remember correctly..
Never wore out, you could go through 5 regular Black and Red Buttoned Joysticks to 1 TACH2, or more.
If you can find TACH2's on EBAY, that may be the way to go

It was sold through Radio Shack and they put them on clearance months ago. It's possible albeit unlikely that some stores still have them.
