Hi There, I've been trying to repair one of these flaky plastic controller matrixes with a conductive ink pen but I'm starting to get frustrated. Does anyone have a spare controller for sale? I have a 1st generation intellivision, but it probably doesn't matter what kind of controller it is as long as I can swap parts. Thanks! Matt

Thanks LittleJoe! I ordered the paint pen you recommended and it looks great. It's the exact same paint color for the joysticks and has the same glossy look. It was easy to apply but painting the letters TOP took a little skill. If you press too hard the paint will bleed into the O and P, so you have to have a light touch. It was easy to scrape out the unwanted paint with an exacto knife after letting it completely dry. My joysticks look brand new now.

Hello All, I'm fairly new to the forum - although I have been reading the posts for a while. I've mostly been an arcade collector for many years and have lately turned to consoles. Anyway - I've been searching and googling this topic before posting and I can't seem to find the definitive answer. Is there a specific orange paint match for the Atari 2600 joysticks that most people use? Usually there's a perfectionist or two out there that know exactly what to recommend. Matt
