I was wondering if anyone could take a photo of the PCB for the thumb area of the Sidewinder Force Feedback Joystick's handle.

I'm trying to make a new PCB that can replace the original, given that the buttons used on it and the hat controls may have lost effectiveness over 25+ years, and those who want to fix it may not have the experience to do so.

Namely, I am looking for the exact type of 3-lead SMD components (2 on the bottom, 1 on top) on that the board uses. I just need a photo of the code printed on those components.

Is that an actual issue? I own a Force Feedback Pro and Precision Pro (same joystick, just no Force Feedback) - both well used but with no issues whatsoever.
