Amiga - Joystick Repair and Microswitch Replacement
Today's video is a nice treat for you Amiga, Commodore 64 and Retro Gaming fans and enthusiasts, it includes repairs and mini retro game plays. I repair two of my zip stick retro digital joysticks, one stopped working on my Wednesday's Nostalgia time video, when I was playing Apidya on the Commodore Amiga A1200 for the Lemon Amiga Games competition with EAB.
The other I completely hammered on the more recent Lemon Amiga competition when playing Pacmania, which required new microswitches.

In this video I replace Microswitches on one of the joysticks, investigate why both the fire buttons stopped working on the other joystick. This video will also be of interest to Commodore 64 users as you can use the same joysticks on the C64.
