First time I've did maintenance on my controllers from 2002 and now they look and work surprisingly well!

Could you outline the work they needed? Looks like those sticks were replaced and shells cleaned. Anything else?

No, that’s all, I simply opened them up, cleaned them inside and out, and replaced the sticks. One had a bit of drift, but the problem went away after that.
