Joystick Rubber Boot as its listed on the Best Electronics website http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/5200.htm Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Alright I figured it out. Put vice grips on the metal pole of the joystick then twist the plastic handle off. Take small flathead and pry off retaining ring holding in rubber boot. Rubber boot will then come right out. So as of now I have 3 working 5200 controllers. This third one by taking parts of two controllers to make one. ⚠️ THIS MEMBER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT: http://forums.atari.io/index.php/topic/475-theretrocade/?p=7683 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
