A few months ago I came across a Sega Saturn Virtua Stick (the black version) for 15 euros. I didn't have a Saturn then but as I intended to get one and being quite uncommon to find one of this sticks locally seemed like a nice deal.
I recently bought a Saturn. I tested the stick and most of the time it didn't register anything when I pulled the stick down.
I opened it up figuring maybe a nice cleaning would do the trick. After disassembling it I realized that one of the rubber pads was larger than the other three so the stick wouldn't sit properly on them.
I know it's a long shot but does anyone know where can I get parts for this arcade stick?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Help needed: Sega Saturn Virtua Stick
I've only really seen kits for Nintendo and Sony pads online. Sounds like someone tried to fix it with a dome from some other device. Maybe you can find something that's a better fit.

Thanks for replying Hobie-wan.
I've managed to mod the rubber pad and the stick is working fine now.
