Instructions to take apart a 5200 joystick

[Charlie_]

I made a quick page to show people how to take apart a 5200 stick.

I'll be updating the page with more info when I get time. I did this quick.

Maybe Al can sticky this post?

I like my pictures better. :-) I'll be adding a lot more info and tips on the page when I get more time.

One of the pages should be a sticky here I think. It can help a lot of people having trouble playing the 5200 with these old sticks.

Agreed, nice site/pics. You need a few more, and little more detail on reassembling the controller imo.

The Best site is good, but as usual, it's strung together in such a way it gives you a headache after 30 seconds.

At any rate, maybe Al could sticky this...the main complaint people have about the 5200 stick (that have actually played one that is) is not the self centering, it's the reliability of the fire buttons. Teach ppl how to easily fix that and there'll be a lot more love for ol' Pam.

I updated it with a little more info/pics. I think this should be good to help people otherwise scared to take the controller apart.

I think your instructions are much easier to use then Best Electronics. Thanks for the post!
