Grandstand Astrowars (Epoch Super Galaxian / Galaxy II) - Joystick fix

I've had this Grandstand Astrowars for quite a few years now and for the last couple, it's been missing the joystick stick and as such, rendered unplayable.


I've been on the look out for a replacement joystick "roller/rocker" style switch and been unable to find anything that would work and certainly nothing that looked original, until I happened across an eBay listing for half of an old Astrowars unit.


Join me in what turned out to be a remarkably straightforward fix and just a little bit of game-play at the end! :?)


Not the same cover I bought off eBay, as mine had a mirror finish, however, hopefully this one will fit well : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Astro-Wars-Scramble-FireFox-Replacement-Battery-Cover-Lid-Vintage-Retro-Games/193420588252?hash=item2d08c3f4dc:g:TloAAOSwcLlek3~e
