Nintendo 64 Thumbstick Replacement Part
There wasn't a flashy display and no booth babe demonstrating this replacement part, but this is something that most independent game stores can jump on and make money on right now. If you've ever been around a Nintendo 64 controller, you know the joystick/thumbstick is the first part to wear out. Your customers know the controller sucks when the stick wears out so they don't mind selling/trading it in for 50-75 cents. Take these "bad" controllers and BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE with this brand new replacement part.
Refurbished "original" thumbsticks have been around for years, but refurbished meant they were used, just not as used up as the bad ones. Supplies were also limited as there aren't as many good Nintendo 64 controllers out there any more.
With this BRAND NEW replacement part, supply is not a problem and the quality is the same on everyone.
As these aren't original parts, we've notice 2 differences:
- The "stick" itself is a little bit shorter than the original stick and the top of the stick is larger in diameter.
- The "feel" of stick is outstanding. Where the original stick just moved around, this stick has a SOLID feel.
Grab a couple of these, put one in a "demo" controller for your customers to test/feel/try and they'll sell themselves...
