This is a BRAND NEW replacement PCB for your Vectrex controller. This PCB was designed with connectors that allow it to be connected to the joystick assembly and the controller cable without requiring soldering. However it also has solder connections the same as the original board so that the original GCE joystick assembly and cable can be soldered directly to it. The contacts under the buttons on this PCB are also gold-plated for enhanced connectivity and sensitivity. The controller shell in the picture is for illustrative purposes only and is not included.
