Long linkages make the perfect candidate for a joystick conversion... less hiem joints to order lol, and really less **** to re invent, just a place for the u-joint to mount too, and a couple tabs at 90deg on the joy stick and poof modern controls
 
Is something like that going on with the left lever here?

actually, I think that is... a really old and obsolete version, but its the same idea, just needs wires, and more then likely chucked in the oopsies bin and replaced with one that still works. You can also get them with a "trigger" type control vs rocker switch... Imma do some searching

the sky is literally the limit... Do some shopping on your own though, the above is just to get the gears spinning, a lot of the times these things are stupidly overpriced, like $300-500 for a $7 micro switch and some cheap molded plastic with a regular ass nut held in by friction alone... I suggest Ebay?

Might have to do some minor wiring to get it going proper
