hey... if you want new pads, by all means get some. but don't get rid of your old ones! if the DIN pins are in good shape, then you might be able to resuscitate your controllers with some basic maintenance. Open the controller and inspect / clean the contacts for the buttons (isoproyl alcohol, cotton or foam swab). Sticky / unresponsive buttons often are caused by gunk that works its way in over the years.

Is TZD now out of new ones? Last I checked they still had them.

Added in edit: According to their site they still have them http://www.tzd.com/information.cgi?id=495

yeah, they still have them.  TZD keeps that site pretty up to date.
if you're looking for duo pads i think someone was saying they are out of the originals and are currently selling turbo pads with pins sized for a duo.

by the way, i talked to the guy there last week and they only have a few copies of Splash Lake left.
