Atari CX-10 Joystick Button Alignment Jig

# Atari CX-10 Joystick Button Alignment Jig

After countless tries at aligning the new domes for my vintage Atari joysticks I gave up on eyeballing them and designed this simple two-piece jig. It lines up all five triangle-dome buttons the same every time and helps align them on the original circuit board.
Hopefully it helps someone.
