I just acquired a mint F-16 side stick and am now searching for mint condition throttle to pair along with it for display. If anyone had such an animal for sale I'm very interested.

Thanks! I've seen those. While those are dimensionally accurate, I'm looking for an original throttle and willing to pay the extra $$ to get it.

Early version, not sure of the block. Here's a pic of the side stick.

You're right, it's a mint sidestick, but very very old. What is the part number? (Should be on the bottom.)

Best Regards,

Looking at the F-15 throttle assembly here: http://aerotronicsllc.com/f15throttle.htm, makes me wonder what sort of car one could buy for a similar price?

You have a late Block 10/early Block 15 stick grip. These were later modified with a piece of heat shrink on the paddle switch pivot pin to keep it from falling out in flight, but deleted when the A/B models were updated to MLU. I'm betting it came from EPAF.

Best Regards,

That grip assembly is certainly a rare find. The NSN (1680-01-090-2061) has been terminal for quite awhile and there are no assets in the DoD supply system, near as I can tell. Obtaining a throttle, while not impossible, could be a challenge (or very expensive).
