I'm reviving this old thread to provide an update on my findings: The Philmore PC74 fits perfectly into the joystick, but resistance is too high for the range of motion of the joystick. This is a 10K pot, and I think 5K or less would be the correct amount of resistance (possibly combined with removing the +/- 5V resistor and adjustment pots since there is a bit of resistance that will always be present on the replaced pot). I did not have success and in trying it out damaged the joystick too far to continue, so I'm keeping the controller for spare parts now. In other news, I replaced the polystyrene caps for the deflection circuit with MLR472K100 and MLR103K630 and they worked just fine.

I have a Color Laserjet and these labels worked great for me (thanks OP). I ordered the glossy ones and have a few extras. Would anybody be interested in some prints? What do you consider a fair price? Also I modified a few spots to cover some custom and repro Vectrex carts I have and I have attached it. vectrex_labels_template_OL6950b.part1.rar vectrex_labels_template_OL6950b.part2.rar

I think there are enough NES clones, not to mention it's very easy to get your hands on the original NES or even the top loader NES. Why don't we see people trying to make clones of systems that are harder to find in working condition these days like Jaguar CD, Virtual Boy, Intellivision, not to mention the less common Atari consoles. Even if you set aside the fact that NES is very easy to emulate and play in any browser or on any homebrewed console or smartphone... I think we've got NES covered.

I am rebuilding a Vectrex controller that had a hard life with a previous owner. I already fixed a bunch of broken traces on the buttons PCB and now those work great, but I also have a 3-legged pot that snapped off near the solder points. Attaching a picture of the part of the pot that broke. These pots latch onto the joystick. Has anybody managed to find a general purpose pot on the market (shack, mouser, etc.) that can be used to replace it?
