A video on an Atari CX30 paddle controller for the Atari 2600 that I picked up from Ebay for £8. I always clean old #controllers before using them, there's always years of grimy finger juice and god knows what else on them!

So here is a mostly unedited video cleaning the #Atari #CX30 and then briefly testing it on the Atari 2600+. Keep an eye out for my Atari 2600+ review, where we will fully test the CX30, coming very soon!
