I’m not aware of any that are kept reliability in stock. You can get new sticks, gears and bowls (plastic ones that will have the same problem over time, but much cheaper). I would get new sticks to go with these bowls. store.kitsch-bent.com/…/n64-joystick-thumbstick

Ninten-drawer is a modern sliding replacement tray for the NES. It is more reliable than the cheap replacement 72 pin connector and doesn’t have a death grip on the cartridge. youtu.be/4lpCNMxGW3s
N64 controller stick modules work by spinning rotary encoders as the stick moves. The stick is and the bowl (typo in title haha) that keeps it in place are made of plastic. Overtime, both the stick and the bowl wear down and get loose. Using a steal bowl with a new stick keeps the original feel with much less grinding.

Or someone looking to buy their first. The user experience (menu wise) on the 4k line is so much nicer than the 5x in my opinion.

- Comment on The feds are coming for John Deere over the right to repair: The farm equipment giant has fought against letting farmers repair their own equipment for years 5 months ago:
If they do, are they competitive? Or are they doing the same thing. It could also be like car dealerships in certain states, you’re not allowed to just open one within x miles of another (though that refers to more of the same brand). Wouldn’t surprise me if they can’t have dealerships near each other due to backwards legislation.

Exactly why John Deer should not be allowed to do this. Any threat to the food supply should be considered a national security risk.

The real question is what other options do farms have? Let’s say their tracker breaks down and repair is no longer an option. How many other manufacturers are making the type of equipment they need? And how expensive would it be to enter that market to compete? To me it seems like John Deer has a monopoly and is exploiting it.

Looks similar to a Sony PVM-8045Q, so a nice portable crt.

This argument would outlaw a USB flash drive, “Your Honor, this device can store the contents of this 30 old game, it needs to be outlawed to protect all intellectual property”
