[LUG] OT: anyone have a broken game controller?

 

Anyone on the plymouth freecycle list can probably stop reading since I made the same request there.
Calling anyone who, like me, can't throw anything away. I'm looking for a  
broken game controller which I can turn into a nice hand hold for my  
Nintendo DS. I'm looking for something like an N64 controller with the  
prongs (Wii and snes for example are no good to me). Broken isn't  
essential, just so long as it's surplus to requirements and you don't mind  
it getting the Sid treatment.
For those that care: the reason is that when I'm playing it my fingers  
start to hurt from gripping too tightly, especially playing mariokart. I  
never had this issue playing mariokart on the N64 (it is essentially the  
same game) so i recon those prongs are the magic answer.
In or near plymouth would be ideal but i travel around quite a bit so I'd  
be interested in hearing from you no matter where you are.
