I heard that there are screws underneath one of the overlays. Could
somebody tell me which one so I don't pull up the wrong one Smile Also,
heat gun easiest to get it up easily? Also heard their was a site
that sells repros if I damage this one?

Thanks,

IIRC, there are 6 screws under the top sticker (one at the button
side). Four at the corners and two where the cable enters the case. I
don' t know of any websites, but I've bought few original replacement
stickers on eBay. All from the same seller. He lists them from time to
time. Maybe he does have a website too.

Just to add: I wasn't lucky enough to pull the sticker off without
destroying it. The clear top carrier lifts off leaving the ink and
adhesive still attached to the case.

But maybe you'll be luckier.

Yup, that's the guy.
And I don't think those are repros. They appear to be genuine article.
They have that "old" quality to them. New Old Stock.

But I might be wrong. It those are freshly printed stickers then I have
to compliment super-genius. Excellent work!

I will throw in my vote for purchasing the controller stickers from the
person on eBay. The stickers are top notch in every way you can imagine.
I just wish the seller made them for the MB and Bandai graphic versions. I
suggest all current owners purchase a set for their eventual need to open
the controller for servicing.

And yes, I have purchased a couple of sets of them. Look for Vectrex items
from this seller: super-genius!

Sincerely,

Chris
