Title: Building Difficult Arcade Controls
Post by: Searcher7 on January 20, 2005, 12:18:23 pm

I was curious as to whether there have been many sucessful repros of complex arcade controls.

I would like to build a replica of a Star Wars control panel, and was wondering what it would entail.

Has anyone logged the exact measurements of a Star Wars yoke control, along with any other details?

Thanks a lot.

Darren

Methinks this post has upped the bids. I was the high bidder for short time. Congrats to whoever wins it.

One of our own is indeed the high bidder.  I'm laying off- Good luck Doc!

I'd LIKE to bid, but will leave it too.

Fortunately for him, I know that Doc's ebay name is beersmith, or I may have bid him up on it.
That is a good reason to use the same name on ebay that you use here--just so that you all know.

Kremmit and I have saved each other lots of money by not bidding against each other.
When I see his low-ball bid on something, I PM him, and see how high he's willing to go.
If his high is higher than mine, I don't bid.

That leaves him only competing against the OTHER bidders out there, and he doesn't end up paying more if I'm the only other one interested.
