I got some paddles, and finally got a game to use with them, and now i find that the paddles had a problem. there apears to be a lot of "Jitter" in the control. How do i go about fixing this?

You need to take the paddle controller apart, and clean the potentiometer.

This can be done with isopropyl alcohol on a Q-Tip. WD-40 also works.

You should clean the inside of the controller using compressed air first, though.

DTP - I used a QD-Electronic Cleaner and it worked like a char !!

I can play Super Breakout now with no epeleptic fits.. lol

Thanks for the advice.

P.S. CRC Industries make some really amazing products. (the cleaner).
