gilsaluki Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Congrats on getting your RSI controller working. It still is my fav 2-button 7800 controller. I built two of them, and yes, the resistor's value can be a tad different than the called out 620 ohms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I've not looked to closely at them, but it wasn't obvious on how to remove the buttons, and such, so the top would be flat and smooth, so i can put a new label on the unit. Any feedback from others that know more than me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laner Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I bought one of these 7800-modded Space Invaders joysticks from someone here on AA way back in the day - though I don't recall who and my searching comes up empty. I absolutely loved it, but the cable developed a short and I have zero soldering skills to fix it. Is there be anyone on this thread who could take a look at it and repair it for me?

Depending on how well or poorly the original mod was done, this could/should be an easy fix. If I were local to you I'd take a look at it. But, otherwise, I wouldn't commit to a positive outcome without seeing what I had to work with. The expense of shipping speculatively just wouldn't be worth it. Maybe you'd find a willing repair-er if you opened it up and posted pictures? This might be the ideal project on which you could learn to solder. It should be relatively simple.

Post some good photos of the innards and the loose wire and more than likely we can tell you where it goes. You can buy a soldering iron and a learn to solder kit and learn a new skill and gain a new hobby. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=learn+to+solder&crid=2RDD54IHWS9VM&sprefix=learn+to+solde%2Caps%2C145&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
