Topfire Ball/Battops...

Grasshopper:

It's an interesting idea but could you give us some idea of prices before we all get our hopes up.

Manufacturing custom parts in small quantities can be very expensive. According to Franco the metal sleeves under the bat/ball alone would cost about $10 to manufacture.

Patience young grasshopper :)

Actually I am tring to calculate costs as we speak. You have to figure in many angles as you clearly indicated. But I do feel confident that a reasonable price will be reached. One thing that will play a factor is the market of people interested in these. But with the vast difference in prices with current joys on the market I assure that it won't "break" anyone's bank. With all of that being said, I need to get the designs finalized and the prototypes made (costs for prototypes coming out of my pocket alone) before any concrete prices can be presented.

Thanks,
Matt

UPDATE...the machinist has the majority of the posts in this thread as reference. I explained the need for only one Happs shaft to cover them all. One question though...which Wico would be preferred 3.5" or 4"? Thanks for the support.

I vote 4" Wico.  If they stick up too high you can use washers between the joystick base and bottom of the control panel to lower the height.

Compromise with 3.75" ?
