Being bored, I decided to hook up the old n64 for some classic Zelda play.
Lil' joystick was old and sloppy so, being a guy, I decided to just open it and shit just started flying everywhere.
You can actually open that little joystick panel, and clean it.. but I couldn't figure out how to reassemble the rest of the remote.
I found this vid (may 2011? dam didn't know ppl still did n64 vids) and it helped!
Thanks. I can finally play Zelda.

how do you replace the rubber part of the z button

I love watching your videos, I can space out to them all day.

I found the best way to clean controller shells and buttons is to wash them with soap. It cleans the entire shell, removes any oil or anything really, and completely restores it to brand new(or darn near it!). The only downside is you have to wait for the shell to dry but once you've put it back together you'll have a brand newish controller.

I absolutely love your background with the different N64 controllres, what got you into collecting for the N64? how did you mount the contrllers? thanks and keep up the great work

looks like new. The 2000 controller was awesome. Great vid!
You have a typo in your video's title Mel. It's spelled "Assembling"... you're missing the "m".
As an FYI, you can replace just the "joystick" part of the thumbstick assembly. I've done it several times, including on a Millennium 2000. It is difficult because it is spring loaded, but to an experienced expert it is easy. This process of replacing the "guts" of the thumbstick assembly actually fixes the "loose stick" problem.

@ddr2nite Thanks I fixed it. And I know, I just didn't want to get into that in this video.
