Tron Unit Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Just got my Coleco back and tested both SAC controllers. Ironically, the one that had the broken "octopus" controller that I removed worked perfectly. The other that still had the "octopus" piece perfectly intact had no directional movement whatsoever so I removed it. It now works PERFECTLY! So if you have SAC controllers and the directional joysticks are not working, just take them apart and remove the white plastic "octopus" piece. Most break over time anyway and it is simply NOT needed! BAM! Got a pair of working SAC controllers!

Nebulon Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Man if there is a way to cast that piece up with resin and make replacement pieces available you'd have your own little enterprise, man! You'd be controlling from on high, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntaBaka Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I know I am resurrecting a zombie, but here are some images of the controller. The "front shield" is very hard to get off. YOu'd need something to press the plastik nose towards the inside of the controller at the right spot. Getting the two halfs apart is easy when you move one side just a bit to the back - the other side has small hooks at the end (see pictures). Unfortunately, mine is beyond repair as the small white ring with the pressure points lost one tooth - one of the eight directions will be lost. Maybe I can insert some metal lever instead...

allansim Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Awesome! Broke one of mine decades ago and somehow glue couldn't fix it. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
