Cool video, thanks! Will look up the pc joystick adapters. I loved the Wico controllers, until finding out the potentiometers can't be replaced, the internals of them wear out and cleaning doesn't do anything. I bought one "untested". Tested ones are great, until the contacts wear out. The Wico keypad they sold was and still is amazing. The gold flexcircuits definitely fix a ton of problems. Amazed there's no custom modification to add self-centering as the joystick was on the right track, just not designed to full potential :(

I refurbed my own controllers. Have a trackball too. What I really want is the 2 controller mount for Robotron 2084.

Nice! Do the refurbished controllers work well?

@@gameselectronicsrus3909 Yes. Still good after 3+ years with all original parts. Didn't use a rebuild kit. Most common issue is deterioration of the carbon dots on the keys and buttons. I cut and superglued some small circles of aluminum furnace tape to the carbon dots. The superglue bonds the surface of the carbon dots and prevents their disintegration to powder while also securing the aluminum tape. Lots of 'repair' videos/guides just suggest wiping the carbon dots but that only temporarily fixes the problem instead of solving it.
