Nes Advantage Issues

[Csonicgo]

I have an NES Advantage arcade stick with a broken 1st player connector. Is there any hope of resurrecting the first player slot? The 2nd player connector works fine, which is fine in 1-player situations, but I'd like to have it 100% working. Has anyone here repaired/cleaned one and can tell me how to take this thing apart and what to look for?

 

Much Thanks!

 

EDIT: can someone move this to hardware? THANKS!

If it's only one side that doesn't work, you probably have a bad cord. If you have a continuity tester, you can make sure it's the cord and not something else. The good news is that controller cords are easy to replace. The bad news is that Advantage cords are somewhat hard to come by. You can also use two cords from standard NES controllers, but it won't look stock.

eh, I'm not caring about stock, I just want both sides to work. I'll check it with that.
