The 4 direction switches have been replaced with brand new ones.
All directions including the diagonals, both fire buttons and auto-fire are working perfectly.

Zipstik Autofire joystick - Flat round feet on base - Original microswitches.

Refurbished Zipstik Autofire Joystick with original microswitches (round feet on base)

A less common version of Zipstik (early?) made of harder plastic and round flat feet on the base (instead of suckers).
Refurbished by myself as follows: Thoroughly cleaned internally and externally and fully tested. Four new silicone feet fitted.
All directions including the diagonals, both fire buttons and auto-fire are working perfectly.
Very good physical condition - only minor wear and tear.
The autofire on this version of the Zipstik is different to the more common types: When the autofire switch is on there is constant rapid fire (ie: without pressing a fire button).

Zipstik Autofire joystick - Suckers on base - New microswitches.

Refurbished Zipstik Autofire Joystick with new microswitches (suckers on base)

This is most common version of the Zipstik.
Refurbished by myself as follows: Thoroughly cleaned internally and externally, fitted four new high quality Crouzet brand microswitches (up,down,left,right) - these are the same as were used originally much of the time (they have a quiet click - not like cheap clunky types - and operate with appropriate mid-range actuation force: not too loose or stiff )
Fully tested: All directions including the diagonals, both fire buttons and auto-fire are working perfectly.
Very good physical condition - only minor wear and tear / nothing broken inside. The four suckers on the base are present and are in good condition.
Autofire Config: When the autofire switch is on, pressing a fire button creates rapid fire.
