Another short video, and this time a little different... Repair and clean-up of a Wico Command Control "Red Ball" joystick. A high-quality joystick made by Wico in the 80's for use with Commodore VIC-20, Commodore 64, Commodore 128, Amiga and Atari 2600 and most Atari computers. This found Wico joystick is super grungy but cleans up gorgeous.
