Hey Friz, Yeah, I'll be the first to admit that the Star Wars yoke has been a long time coming, that's for sure. I could go on and on about the issues I've had to deal with during this project, but there's no point right now. When it's completed, I intend to itemize and detail every last issue and gripe. :) In the meantime, while I work to get it finished up, I promised myself that I would try and get some of the smaller one-off items available to everyone sooner rather than later. I was hoping that it would help alleviate *some* of the angst created by the yoke project. Taking on insanely difficult projects (ie: yoke, 720 controller, etc) seems to be a great way to soak up all my time and aggravate people while they wait. Throwing in as many smaller items while I spin my wheels on the larger projects is my goal at this point. Wish me luck. I had no idea you were relatively new to the hobby. Some people, you can just tell when they're newbs, but you never gave off that vibe. LOL Keep watching for more reproduction parts. I have a lot of cool parts in store for everyone.

I'd figure by now you'd have thick enough skin to handle it as well... which seems to be the case. I just find it interesting that the yokes have been "on deck" since well before I discovered this hobby... that is all. ;) --- End quote --- |

Yeah, I only discovered "MAME" in Sept. 2006 and formed my love of collecting "real" arcade machines December of the same year. Rest assured I am only busting your balls. Think about it... I am sure that George Broussard over at 3D Realms gets ribbed for Duke Nukem... those guys are on like 10 years and counting or something. Nevermind me... i'm a known --cream-filled twinkie-- around these here parts and no one listens to me anyway. ;D |

Hey Hoopz, No biggie, as Friz pointed out, my skin has thickened up quite a bit over the years so all the wisecracking is in perspective. The SW Yoke project has been ongoing since 2004 (on paper, designs and what not). It didn't really take off until 2007 when I started to get the larger components finished up. But no matter how I portray it, the project really has taken far too long. Because of this, I accept that I'm going to be razzed about it often. I deserve it because I did stick my hand up and take the repro project head on. It's all me. LOL Stay tuned because this is only the beginning of the repro parts - there's SO much more on the horizon. As always, I'll be QC'ing these repro parts like nobody else! :) David Adams RAM Controls --- Quote from: HoopstarsGarage on April 29, 2009, 08:18:56 pm --- --- Quote from: FrizzleFried on April 29, 2009, 08:12:51 pm ---Of course that is what it was.

Fantastic offer btw too..!! Hoops --- End quote --- |

Dave, you don't owe anything to this community (except the few prepays of course!), and you've done a lot more for this community than the vast majority. Hats off to you. I know the naysayers tend to be pretty vocal but I'm sure there are plenty that appreciate greatly what you've done and are doing (maybe Friz falls in both camps). Keep up the good work, and do it your way! :cheers: |

Brother Shan... Certainly I recognize the contributions Dave/RAM has made... the projects he's taken on... etc. ... and you know what, I really SHOULD throw in a few props here and there amongst my ball busting. So thank you Dave. |
