The handles are slightly different (somewhat boxier and powder coated); any collector worth his salt would recognize this as a repro - especially since the tolerances on this one are much tighter than an OEM piece. However, you *might* be able to pass it off as a prototype, as the handles are based on that instead of the ones that made it into production. The only difference there would be the coating...

Daviea:

There's also one more difference which is obvious from the external of the controller.  The steering bracket (or steering weldment) - the black metal frame at the rear of the controller.  It's made from only two pieces of sheet metal instead of three.  It's one of those small design changes I made.  The ability of sheet metal workers in the 80's to make the part with only two pieces would have been tremendously difficult.  It's still difficult, but CAD software makes the process SO much easier now....if you know what you're doing. :-)  I never liked how Atari welded that third piece onto the bracket, so I designed it differently, making the part just that much cleaner.

Dave I never heard from you about a refund so if you want to actually ship me a yoke that's ok. 
Send me a PM with your correct e-mail address if you never got the mail I sent you a few months ago.



Daviea:

Are you messing with me or did you really ask for a refund on your yoke order?

That's the one constant I've always had - ask for a refund on a pre-order and it was done immediately, no questions asked.

Email me at sales@ram-controls.com and let's discuss.
