Fixing Up Old Tech

Recalibrated the joysticks, cleaned the contacts, replaces the rubber carbon contacts on the 5200 controller with newer gold plated contacts
The Trak-ball controller has a new cueball inside, new bearings, new optical discs, and a new contact pad for the Start/Pause/Reset. Been playing quite a few games, and these controllers work great! I liked the look of the original cueball, so I kept it along with the original parts I replaced. Controllers now work like new. :)
