Looked through my repair logs for star wars boards and found this:
Board also has a problem with controls, cross target is always trying to pull to far left even in self test. Bad cap at C47 (YAW input) was reading .5kohms. Changed cap and controls are now fine.

could be a problem in that area also

  My Star Wars is fully working EXCEPT for the game does not respond to the controller handles being moved up. Actually, it might be down, I don't recall right now, but it definitely only has a problem in one direction.

  I suspected the 5K pot in the control panel, but that tested fine. I even tried another known good pot, and that is not the problem. I checked to be sure there was nothing inhibiting the movement of the pot and it seems fine. All voltages off the power supply appear good, and the game is working fine otherwise, which points to the PCB at this point. Any one have any suggestions as to what components specifically on the PCB I can test/replace next? Thanks,
