Any updates on this? Need an intern? ;D |
| ArcadeMaze:
I would think so. I just read in the July issue of Gameroom magazine that they are going to sell for $20, including trigger. |

Can we all lay off of Fozzy, please ? If he weren't horribly busy with RealLife(tm), he would post something. Brax is allowed to be impatient, the rest of us should shut up lest Fozzy decides not to go forward with a full run. Cheers. |

I offered my services as an intern - so I can ask... No pressure... ;) |

FWIW, the Tron bases are still in the works. The design has been finished for over a year, but in the restructuring of Spincade they have been put on the back burner until the cabs are officially released. The bases are pretty custom, not just an off-the-shelf Super. And the final design does work. Very well. :) --- Quote from: MinerAl on February 23, 2006, 10:06:36 am ---Although the handle is quite tall, one does not play Tron with their hand on top of the stick like they would with a ball top. In order to use the trigger, the bottom of your hand needs to be in only a little higher position than it needs to be using a bat stick. I don't know how you play, but I tend to move the stick with the base of my hand (my pinkie and ring fingers and the muscles in my palm on that side of the hand). I do understand that a longer lever makes it easier to exert more force, but I don't think the difference is as great as you make it out to be, since the hand position is only a bit higher. --- End quote --- This is correct. Using a Tron handle on a modified 8-way base is pretty much like operating a normal 8-way by gripping it rather than using the ball of your hand and fingertips, except you are holding it one inch higher. I have never had any problems, even with the admittedly cheap versions I built long ago for my home cabinet. The parts going into the new sticks are much heavier, and most of the stress is handled by the grommet. |
