In this episode I restore a yellowed retro joystick. The model is QuickShot Python 5. The controller is yellowed and even though it was sold as working to me on ebay, it turned out to be drifting to right.
I started with opening the controller and noticed I need to desolder the the wires to get all the pieces apart. After desoldering I cleaned the parts in watery soap and put them into my retrobrighting box to remove the yellowing.

Here is my tutorial about the retrobrighting process: • How to remove yellowin...
I cleaned the board with isopropyl alcohol. However I did not remove the rubber pads for the buttons. This was because those can be very fragile and it would be extremely hard to find a replacement. But as you can see in the end, I still had to remove them and clean the contacts for the buttons.
To connect the joystick to a modern PC with new Windows such as Windows 10, you need a special adapter. I used this Rockfire adapter for gameport to USB (amzn.to/3wqtN9X). I have Windows 10 Home version 20H2, in this video in case someone has issues with this method. Just a Gameport to USB cable doesn't usually work.
Thank you for watching!

Crazy to see this. A couple of months ago a box of my retro controllers got full of water after a flood in my basement, and i restored all of them after being inspired by your videos. Funny thing is, i also own one of these Quickshots Python-joysticks, but i own a black one used on a Mega Drive. I actually got it to work again after opening, drying, cleaning and putting it back together. I almost never ever see one of these so seeing this pop up in my recommended was a nice surprise. Thanks for your videos, i've learned a lot from you over the years.
