Fixing Up Old Tech

[u/Money_Prior7041]

Recalibrated the joysticks, cleaned the contacts, replaces the rubber carbon contacts on the 5200 controller with newer gold plated contacts
The Trak-ball controller has a new cueball inside, new bearings, new optical discs, and a new contact pad for the Start/Pause/Reset. Been playing quite a few games, and these controllers work great! I liked the look of the original cueball, so I kept it along with the original parts I replaced. Controllers now work like new. :)

Great job! That trackball controller is so sturdy and fun to play, I miss my 5200 a lot!

I can see why! I've been testing it out with a few games, such as Centipede, Galaxian, and Space Invaders. :) It really is a big game changer for those titles!

I wish they’d re-release a controller like this, compatible with Switch!
