Albert Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I'm testing 5200 systems and controllers at the moment, and I only have a few that work 100%. I have a pile of others here that mainly have keypad/fire button problems. Does anyone here refurbish 5200 controllers? I know I could do it myself, but I'd rather just mail out a bunch of controllers and pay someone to send me back nice, working controllers. Thanks! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I do the dot/tinfoil trick. Only thing I suggest about doing that is using a gold flex circuit which i think costs around 14.00 plus shipping. But I suppose a standard rev. 9 would be just fine.

Atari the Jedi Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I use to clean these things back in the day but did not get much further than piecing broken ones together. I could use a good one or two. Since I have 7 that do not work straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, did it really take Atari eight revisions to get these things right? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohoki Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) if you have robotron and get a button to hit fire you can test the sticks problem is it seems that the start button is the first to no longer register i've become a bit of an expert with the joysicks over the years ive made my own too Edited September 23, 2012 by bohoki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
