Hey guys so while working on my new Zaxxon machine something I've realized is the joystick is a tad bit 'sticky' (no, not literally haha). It doesn't like to return back in its original center position very well. I know its old and has years of use but I was wondering if there are any tips on cleaning or repairing it to make it more crisp? I can post pictures if needed! Thanks guys for helping a n00b out!

Awesome I do need a new overlay! I did have a question on putting some new vinyl... So I want to keep the original sideart because it's in GREAT shape. Is there any easy way to apply the new vinyl around it? Also should I sand anything down since it's like a brown paint as of right now?

Hey guys! So I've been wanting to get into the arcade scene for quite sometime now. I'm a Nintendo collector (As you can tell from my username haha) and have been wanting to get some sort of arcade cabinet for awhile now. I know next to nothing about them and would love to get a nice starter machine to work on and maybe do a little restoration on. Almos tnothing good ever pops up for sale in my area but this did and I wanted to get some opinions on it. It's a Zaxxon cabinet. I have no idea if it's all original but thats where I guess you guys come in! He says the only real things wrong with it are the bottom part where you take out the money doesnt have a lock (which shouldn't be a problem to get a new one right?) and it doesnt actually take money I guess. His exact words are "I think that part where it accepts money needs tweeked. When I want to play I just flick the spot where the would normally hit." So is this something that sounds too much for a beginner? I'll put some photos and thanks in advance guys! He's asking 150 on it.
