Repairing Vectrex Controller with bad Buttons 3 and 4
Recently I got a Vectrex but the Controller didn’t work properly 🙁
Buttons 3 and 4 don’t react like normal and shooting in Minestorm didn’t make fun.
I opened the controller with some help of the hairdryer and removed the top foil.
Once its open I cleaned the analog stick and case with some alkohol and after cleaning using some vaseline to make ist work propper again.
the pcb is holding via one screw in center. At the edge the pcb is loose and didn’t get the button of 3 and 4 correctly. I used a second screw at the right and the buttons works again like new 🙂

Atari 130XE cleanup
I bought a used Atari 130XE in a bad shape:
After doing my job:
Here you can see some photos about the process:
I used the dishwasher to clean the case. But attention you have to remove it during the cleaning process before the dry process starts. I suggest a time around 10-15 minutes.
After removing I cleaned the case with water. If you want to speedup the process you can use a hair dryer. For strong dirt you can use ethyl-alcohol. A tooth brush does a good job too.
For cleaning the keyboard I used plastic cleaner with a brush and removed the water with a pressure air compressor.
Have fun
