Note that "paddle jitters" can also be caused by bad/borderline capacitors
in the machine, as the paddle position is read by timing how long a
capacitor takes to charge (I forget the exact details).
I've seen this in the VIC, and I presume the C64 could be susceptible as
well.

Hi
If their using potentiometers a can of electronics contact cleaner will
work. I've heard canadian tire has some as do most Electronics parts
stores which sells the "MG chemicals" type which I use & works pretty good.

Just a note... the paddles get oxidized and a bit wonky with time. Mine
have the jitters. May want to test them before buying.

Does anyone have one or two paddles they'd be interested in selling?
If so, please let me know. We could exchange at the next meeting.
Thanks.
