I have seen a couple of pictures, and it looks to be a yoke like SW or ROTJ. Does anyone know if the handles rotate, or are they stationary?
-
IIRC, It's a yoke. Just uglier.

It's a yoke, I've got one here. It's buried right now, but I can dig it out for pics if anybody needs them.
It's nearly the same as a standard SW one, but the handles don't angle in at the top. Also, the housing cover is a different shape.

Did you pick it up on craiglist? ;)
-
Nope, off eBay quite some time ago. Why?
-
Just saw one on the portland craigslist for $200 or so

Actually, I didn't pick it up, but was thinking about it. I did, however, buy the Hydra machine that has been floating around on craiglist. I talked to the guy, and he just wanted it out of his garage. It was an old Pole Position that was converted to a Hydra - it had a Hydra sticker over the Pole Position side art on only one of the sides.
But it does have the Atari Yoke. And it has a working 25" monitor. In fact, the whole machine works fine, and I picked it up for $125. The yoke will need some reconditioning, though, as the handles turn independently now, and one of the triggers doesn't work. But still a great price for a working cab with a yoke.

Nice find!
I need to find a cab that I can trash for the monitor. The one in the MAME system I am building is trashed and is kicking my butt!!! :hissy:
