Description In this episode we refurbish a Wico Command Control joystick from the 1980’s. The housing is cleaned up, the centering bushing is replaced, and a new strain relief for the cord in installed. Before closing it back up we cover how to adjust the switches and a tip for adding ‘shims’ to keep the centering bushing housing from wiggling in use. Links to the parts used are below.
