Lance, I may have a spare Mad Catz DC controller at home, so if you can't get yours fixed, I'd be happy to send one out to you. All free and gratis like...

At last count I had 3 MC controllers and 2 WORKING Sega ones (pretty rare now I would imagine...)

Just let me know... Would be my pleasure to help out not only a fellow W'O" fan, but also a DC fan!
