I got my first arcade game. A ms pacman in decent shape. Nothing to brag about but original and monitor is bright.

But,

The joystick sounds like a squeaky box spring mattress and is a little unresponsive. Also the player 1 button needs to be pressed very hard to start the game.

Where's do you suggest a new guy go to learn how to repair and or replace my joystick and button. Any good resources out there where I don't have to do hours of research digging?

Thanks
 
Hours of research done for you with a few key words:
Pacman Joystick
Pacman control panel
Leaf button
Leaf switch
Midway joystick

Type any of these into the repair forum search field here and you'll find what you need.. Or hell, use google..

What you should do is remove the control panel (joystick sits on it). There are a couple brackets under it, open the coin door and look up.

Take it apart, clean it.. Replace worn parts.. Done

Oh, read the manual or download it here on klov.. It will show you how to do all of this.
