NES controller electrical issue

Well it's cool you got it working. Perhaps the player 2 doesn't work because it has a bad switch?

It's possible and that wouldn't be too hard to check. But getting a tall switch that matches it might be a pain. I have some real Advantage sticks anyway so I'd picked it up more as a curiosity as a funky Advantage clone. But I can actually use it now.
