There was a complete panel the other day that hit $400.

Bitten by the cabinet bug... obsessing ever since.

hmm, i've got a completly unused yoke in my closet in a box.  the only problem with it is that it is missing the small gear and the cover.  it's used too.   :angel:

anyone want to buy mine for too much?

wow....my hacked SW Yoke I got a year and a half ago for $220. seems almost like a bargain now.

i was just using it the other day. Man nothin' like a real SW yoke for that game. One of my personal top 5 games of that era for sure.
Seriously. Will it fit in my basement or what?

Last year I picked up a whole Star Wars CP for $70 with a yoke in almost perfect condition.  All I had to do was change the thumb switches.  I hit that one at the right time.

If only I had bought up a bunch of Oscar spinners . . .

Since we're on the subject, why are SW yokes selling for so much? I have one and I have thought about putting it up for sale before, but I'd hate to sell it and then need one.

i was thinking of getting the yoke when it was still 12 but then thought about what someone else said about how those who "own" a cab or cockpit need them more.  its a shame they dont still make them though if theres a demand hehe.  but ill probably just make one from a joystick.

There are only a handful of people willing to pay what it costs to produce them.  Charlie at Gamecab was trying to do it, but I don't think there was enough demand to do them for much under $200.

I think my yoke is missing the small gear too, now that I think about it.  Been on a shelf for a year and a half.
