So, inspired by the recent thread on easy controller overlay removal, I fixed up a broken controller (buttons unresponsive, joystick shaft bent).
Clearly, I'm still not quite savvy w/ the heat gun peel method. I got a bit of creasing at the corners & some separation of the overlay's clear layer from the art layer. Also, re-application of heat & pressing down of the overlay didn't bring it back down flat--perhaps a little glue & pressure will flatten it out.
The good news. It works perfectly. I cleaned the joystick pots, straightened the joystick shaft, hit the joystick bat with 2000 grit sandpaper to shine it up a little, cleaned the PCB & gasket contacts, & tested it out with Test Cart Rev 4 on my VecMulti.
Asking $70 shipped to USA or $75 shipped abroad, paid via PayPal gift.
OBO. :]
Or trade for Vectrex rarities/oddities that I don't have. :]
Thanks,
