Title: Soon to be an aftermarket Star Wars yoke supplier for Mame?
Post by: Brax on June 18, 2003, 12:23:43 pm
Prototype? Anyone know anything about this?

Atari prototype lab? Is it relatively new or is it classic? Wonder if it's worth anything to collectors if it's old?

Curious little item.

According to the seller it is an Atari prototype controller.  This guy was selling a bunch of stuff like this 2 weeks ago.  He had a proto 720 joystick and a proto Paperboy joystick.  It seems he got these when Atari was liquidated so he's not mass producing them.

Personally I like the traditional Star Wars yoke a hell of a lot more than that ugly peice of crap.

There isn't any gears on the end either so it may just be a shell anyways.

Those were on last week aswell, but they didn't sell. The other SW yoke went for $101, I think.

Hmm, those handles look an awful lot like the Happs grip assemblies...

Looks like they changed the pictures, shows the gears now. Condition doesn't look as good as the last one.
