UltraStik 360 Metal shavings sticking to magnet

(1/8) > >>

I built an arcade for a friend about 6 months ago. About 2 months after I built it he told me the player 1 joystick was having problems going "down". Well I finally went to his house the other day and I found ALOT of metal shavings on the magnet. They were very fine shavings but the magnet was coated with them. It appears the joystick is somehow making these shavings when you move it and they are falling onto the magnet. Below the joysticks, both of them have the problem, you can see the metal shavings on the wood. At first I thought it was dust but my magnetized screwdriver picked them up.

Anyone seen anything like this before?

Thx

First time I've heard of this.  It does have me wondering though if most people lubricate the joystick socket regularly.  Hopefully Andy makes the chrome retrofit kit available soon, as it would solve this issue too.
