Star Wars - Full Cockpit build around Arcade 1up parts

Well I meant sell parts, not rob people blind.  :)

The Star Wars cabinet is probably the biggest single impact A1UP has had to the arcade community. If I understand correctly, they worked with the Alan-1 guys and was able to reduce the cost of one of their Yokes by $100, by increasing their purchase volumes. The Star Wars A1UP appears to be a viable Star Wars Yoke controller and the entire cabinet cost less than previous yokes. I have yet to get my hands on one though.

I expect we'll see A1UP PCB's for a while, and I don't think they are all that bad to build a machine around, if you wanted to use it for the PCB.

Totally. Lots of skinned machines, but they almost always come with proud beaming owners. These guys are great! Many of them are fairly new to all this, so there is a lot of excitement. The most recent herd discovery was playing 4 way games with an 8 way joystick. Also starting to hear some folks be more concerned with authenticity and I've seen more than 1 person start collecting and learning about full size machines.
