I know virtually nothing about the technical details, but on the Denial
web forum which you also frequent, there has been discussions over the
years about capacitors (?) going old inside the VIC and C64 too, causing
paddle jitter. Is this a factor you have considered, and perhaps have a
good fix for? Various solutions have been mentioned, but I can't recall
if anyone had the definite answer.

Best regards
