So, the Bart joystick on my simpsons game is worn out. I'll probably still end up replacing it, but this was free, and got me going. This worked out better than I expected, as it now plays as good as the others on the system. But, when I took apart the joystick, I found the rubber was separating on three of the four sides. I had a spool of upholstery thread, and sewed around the outside pulling the rubber back together. Before I reassembled it, I took a picture to share with you guys.

I imagine I could make it last even longer if I switch it with the one from the Marge joystick...
