2 Way joystick, (Galaga, mappy) rebuild help requested.
I've got a mappy original 2 way stick. This is actually the first original one I've gotten my hands on. I'm not 100 percent sure, but this seems to have way to much play in it. Will barely return to center. It seems there are extra metal leafs that help Center it? Is that all there is? No springs? Do I need to rebend the leafs or make/find new ones.. or am I missing something else entirely.
I want to rebuild it to like new condition. The rubber stops are there, it works, it's just sloppy. Any help is appreciated! Link to a rebuild I didn't see, pics, or just general knowledge of how they work in new condition. Thank you!
