Okay, here's my ultra high teck whiz bang double joystick setup for two
fisted Llamatron blasting:

Two Wico 3-Way Joysticks and two 3-inch C-clamps.  

I've pushed in the rubber feet by tightening the clamps too hard, but
this setup works fine.  Oh...throw away the yokes for the 3-Ways...they
pop off too easily.  And I use some packing tape on the shaft to keep
the plastic handles from slipping up during frantic blasting moments.

That's it!
