repro star wars handles...
(1/3) > >>
Flinkly:
i've been looking around at all the star wars yoke options available to me and i was beginning to wonder, does anyone do repro handles or how expensive would it be to do that?
paigeoliver:
Well, there is a big difference between molded plastic and metal. I don't have any yokes anymore, but they might have been machined and not molded.

I have used both styles of handles, and the style shown on the repro prototype is technically a bit superior.
Flinkly:
yeah, i was thinking about the metal thing too...also, after reading the thread about the gamecab yoke, it seems like look is one of the bigger worries in a look-alike star wars yoke, which is why i'm asking.
Tailgunner:
The original yoke grips are die castings. To do a proper reproduction you'd need to have four mold sets machined at around $1500 to $2000 per set. From there it's a matter of how many you think you can sell to order enough to get a reasonable price on the castings.
Lilwolf:
I think a set of good hard plastic would be a good option...

You probably will not sell enought to make it worth the initial 6k figure...

Is there any more expensive to make solutions with a cheaper initial setup?
