What is the best way to Break-In a Wico Joystick?

<< < (2/3) > >>

JODY:
By the way, I'm spraying silicone on all my Wico rubber grommets.  It will keep them from drying out.  If they dry out they will crack and eventually fail.  The can I use says it preserves rubber and keeps it from drying out.  I disasemble the sticks and spray both sides.  2 coats letting it dry in between.  The rubber then looks fresh (wet).

Kremmit:
The ones you've played on in the arcades aren't "broken in", they're just broken.  They're supposed to feel that stiff.  If you don't like it,  I'll be the 2nd user to volunteer to trade you some old grommets for yours!  Please?!

RayB:
Are you guys sure the stiff ones aren't because the rubber has hardened over time?

Earth stages of GYRUSS... :P

Mine are all NOS and were fine until I went to an auction and played a bunch of games. Now they seem stiff. I'm just gonna keep playing until they wear out!
