Really awesome restoration! The design of old input devices like these are always fascinating to see.

Hello i have a question. I have the first gen hardwired controller. Do you know how to make a DB9 output from these ?

[@theretropal]

Hello, the original hardwired and DB9 versions of the CF controller all have 9 wires connected to the controller. You essentially replace the soldered hardwired wires with the matching colours on the replacement DB9 connector wires.
I hope this makes sense.
