Hi Guys,
My A2 joystick (Apple brand A2M2012) has been erratic ever since
bringing it out of its 15 year hibernation, so I decided today was the
day to repair it. I cracked it open and did what I could to clean it
out, but it would seem that the pots are gunged up internally.
I can't seem to remove or open the pots to clean them, so I was
wondering if I could soak the pots in some sort of cleaning solution to
try and remove the grime.
So the question is - what cleaning solution would be best to use?
Alcohol based? Something else? I tried squirting IC cleaning fluid into
the pots but it had limited success and one of the pots still behaves
quite erratically.
Anyone got any ideas?
thanks,
-p
