Yaton's refurbishments are the worst. It is amazing how bad of a job he and his workers do. More often than not anything they refurbish comes out worse.
I bought some panels off of him. The joysticks shafts I guess had some rust on them. So what did they do? They painted over the rust with silver spray paint. However, they didn't remove the shafts for painting. Oh no, that would take time, better to try masking everything else off. Surprise, they did a really poor job it. The whole CP was covered in spray marks.
Changing the rusted shafts would have been a 10 minute job. Now I spent 30 minutes scrubbing the panel clean. And I still had to fix the sticks.
On another panel, the sticks were dry as a bone. They needed regreasing bad. Yaton's way of doing this? They lifted the dust washers and squirted grease with a grease gun in to the opening. Like a turd on top of the joystick. Good effort, Yaton, good effort.
Also, I don't know if you care or not, but both the sticks and buttons are Chinese bootlegs. The buttons are really poor quality. I threw mine out. The sticks are OK.

You need a pair of circlip pliers.Remove the cotter pin from the base of the joystick. i used a firm grip with a pair of pliers but it was difficult. I would like to know a better way.
