Did a recap on a N64 and a controller today. Also did RGB mod and this controller mod.

Thing works great. N64 stick woes are gone. So much better than that China garbage off ebay.

I'm sorry, what did you do to the controller...

Nice. Mines being shipped at this very moment.

Also I should say even though Nintendo used Panasonic caps, one of the caps on the console was leaking. There was no way of telling without removing it either.
I plan to recap the rest of my N64s consoles and controllers very soon now.

It works so well man. The only problem I had was cracking open the donor stick from ebay. You can kinda see in my pick that one of the wings that locks onto it is cracked off.
Got 3 more to go.

The guy says to use a knife to open them up but I ended up breaking an exacto blade and had to use a flat screwdriver.

And don't be dumb like me and try to calibrate it with a game in the console. Wont work.

So you definitely need one of those replacement ones from ebay? Is there any other alternative or no?

You need the ebay stick for the housing and the actual stick part.

All the German guy sends you is the pcb board and an analog stick.

Cost me like $20 in total per joystick. I ordered 4 from the German and 4 from some ebay seller.

Oh and the screws from the ebay stick.

What exactly does it 'do'? Do you only do this if your N64 analog stick is broken? Or does this add something.

A stick replacement for the N64.
