I Restored This Yellowed Joystick and Play New Games with it - Retro Gaming Restoration

About this video

Why does a yellowed QuickShot Python 5 joystick drift to the right? The maker opens it, desolders the wires to part the pieces and sets about restoring it.

Good to know: Retrobriting uses strong hydrogen peroxide, which burns skin and eyes, and UV lamps harm eyes. Soldering means burns and fumes, and old solder contains lead.

Why watch it

Bought as working on eBay, this stick still drifted right, a situation any secondhand buyer may recognise. A separate tutorial for building the retrobrighting box is linked under the video.
