Nuno: how You cleaned the Atari start button? Just a full immersion on the soap or other way?

RAM controls sells some replacement parts for this joystick. I read they made the joystick play like new somewhere on a thread but can't seem to find it now...

but i wanna study your technique... 

thats easy, put it in a drill and apply sandpaper 

[DarthNuno]

I use to take sand paper #600 :



...but sometime (when I'm lazy  ), I use my Dremel, like this 



 

[DarthNuno]

Although the control panel overlay is in good general condition (except few scratches), it's very dirt... and cover of white paint spots   

 





OK, let's us the magic sponge 'Mr Propre' 



Not perfect, but faaaaaaar better now   



Let's put back together all the panels items...

[DarthNuno]

I knew I had to find one 'eject coin' push button, because one is missing ...



...so in one of my (too) many orders I added a new one... but didn't pay attention I would have an US on, and I would prefer a German one for this project.
I can live with two different push-buttons, but it looks a little bit strange 




 ... maybe someone here may have a German one for me?
