GCN GameCube wavebird Cleaning/ Restoration

[Mmyi]

Hey Everyone!

So recently I've managed to pickup a GameCube wavebird controller at a reasonably good price and when I got it it was in good condition but quite dirty and I don't really have the tools and items to be able to do a full restoration and I was wondering if there's anywhere where I can get my wavebird cleaned at since it would be much nice to see it in a almost new condition and any help would be appreciated and I've got a link with the images below.

Thank You!

I would imagine that most electronics-repair shops would have a full set of obscure screwdriver bits and would be able to tear down the controller to clean it.

Or you could get the screwdriver(s), cotton buds and toothbrush and do it yourself for probably a similar amount of money.

You want a Y1 tri-point screwdriver - tri-wing screwdrivers have the fins at an angle rather than straight out from the centre and you would run a higher risk of damaging the screw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_...d-Y-Type-screwdriver-bits-and-screw-heads.jpg
