Seimitsu LS-56 Getting Stuck?

Post by Rahndail »

Hi all - I recently got a HSS-0136 Sega Saturn arcade stick with a Seimitsu LS-56 stick inside of it, but when I use it I frequently have inputs "stick", almost as if the spring isn't going back into place. Anyone know of any tips on how to fix such an issue? I've read around that applying grease might help - I tried opening the stick up and there doesn't seem to be any lubricant left on the shaft - so maybe that might work?

Is the spring isn't going back into place? Or it just got sticky at the direction input?

For the later you would need to replace the mirco switchs. You see the joystick would be disassembly, and there is a part with 4 mirco swtiches, you could just replace that.

For first case, it would be more complicated, as the part with the joystick's spring is mounted on the face plate.
