Where to get replacement joystick bezel and LCD bezel?

Post by pieanoman »

As many have noted, the joystick bezel and the bezel around the LCD on the PA3x have a tendency to oxidize, become sticky, and degrade in humid environments. I would like to replace these (as I suspect others would also). Can anyone direct me to where these parts can be purchased? Thank you!

You may have seen the previous discussion on this

But I can confirm that rubbing with a methylated spirits soaked cloth (might be called denatured alcohol in US) worked well for me and the problem is gone.
You should weigh up the risk of doing this (rub too hard and you could remove some printing) vs the risk of damaging the unit in removing the bezels.

Bezels...

Thanks for a quick reply. Yes, I saw the other post. Sadly the previous owner overdid the job and destroyed the lettering. If possible, I'd like to replace the parts.
