If you wanted it to last a really long time I'd get the gold buttons from Best Electronics. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 If the joystick (pots) are out, how do you determine if it is a bad cord or a bad pot? Can a stick with bad pots or a bad cord be repaired? It seems like most repairs focus on the button pads... I haven't seen replacement parts for the pots or cords at any of the online stores.

I haven't seen replacement parts for the pots or cords at any of the online stores.The replacement parts are in the sticks with broken flex circuits. Yeah, Atari, 15 wires, what a brilliant idea, that's three times as many to break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means an ever diminishing pool of decent OEM Atari 5200 analog sticks... doesn't it. I mean, you can get any number of replacement flex circuits... even in gold... but pots or cords, you're out of luck short of cannibalizing old sticks (or I assume, in the case of cords, wiring your own).

darklord1977 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 i just got a new rebuilt controller for my 5200 and it works very well..but when you play with the controller be careful with it because they are very iffy at best... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
