Juzza Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi, i recently won an Atari 2600 on ebay(UK) and it turned to be a US sunnyvale(not heavy 6er). The joystick with it sounded ...'clicky!?'... i opened it up and found 4 big springs and a white plastic board, i did a bit of research and was wondering if it could be a 1010J2 joystick? It looks like a standard CX-40. There is also a small hexagonal indent at the top of the stick. http://www.atariguide.com/10/1010.htm Also the sunnyvale has a problem with joystick port 1, even with no joystick it pulls to right no matter what, is it a case of desoldering the port and resoldering on another one? i was gonna swap the whole board but the connector is different to my spares/repairs PAL console. Sorry if any of this is a bit dumb!! Any help greatly appreciated! JUZZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the sunnyvale has a problem with joystick port 1, even with no joystick it pulls to right no matter what, is it a case of desoldering the port and resoldering on another one? i was gonna swap the whole board but the connector is different to my spares/repairs PAL console. This sounds like it could be one of the chips on the main board. (most likely the RIOT chip) I had a similar problem on a heavy sixer that was reading the button as being held down even with no joystick in the port. (replacing the motherbard made it all better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juzza Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 Thanks for help! I just read a post on this forum that was posted just before mine which helped a bit too (they were talking about the hex disk!). I do have another US sunnyvale which is in working order, i think i'll risk chopping and changing the board on that one to see if it solves the joystick problem. Try to make one good one... Thanks again!!! JUZZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 if anyone has an extra set of those early 2600 sticks with the little plastic logo on top, pm me :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 IIRC, it's a metal logo. Since these were prone to fall off, they are pretty rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
