Hey Guys,

I was just about to make a post to let everyone know that I was back from my contract in Australia, but someone beat me to the punch with the above post.

I'm working on the website today which is why it's down. No worries, it should be back up within the next day or two with updates and photographs.

Please direct any questions via PM here or my personal email in the meantime.

Yoke update: The parts are all finished. The only thing remaining is to assemble, test, pack and ship. I have 10 pre-orders to take care of and then I will open up regular ordering for everyone else. All pre-orders will include MAME adapter cable/connector and extra 120K potentiometers on the house.

Lunar Lander Thruster update: The parts are all finished... Need to assemble, test, pack and shelve. I learned from the yoke fiasco and refused to take any pre-orders, so watch for the ordering to come online for these in the very near future.

That's all for now. Gotta get back to work and catch up on all of these projects.

Thanks everyone.

Well done on creating a much sought-after control option for the many who've requested it. Can't have been easy...

This would certainly be an exciting day indeed.

However, I will reserve my judgement (and purchasing power as a consumer) until I see a BYOAC member post a review with pictures of the final end result.

Oh man, if a promise is what ticks you, you could have had orgasms for the last couple of years....

Seriously, David, instead of posting this, you should have delivered all the pre-ordered yokes to the people and not making a whisper about it.
It would have been fun to see the reports of people who received them.

Good timing. ThisOldGame.com now has his yoke overlays for sale.

If Mr. Adams wanted to pursue such a venture..I have a stock 720 Controller that I could potentially offer up as a reference.

The MAME converter is Awsome, I have had nightmares about finishing my dualstrike hack, now I can leave the DS for a Leland World Series hack, Can't wait to slap this thing on a peice of wood, crack a brew, push in the USB and blow up the Deathstar!!!!

How much are these bad boys likely to cost please? And how much is shipping to the UK?

I really want to check out this yoke to see how I could attach it to my control panel? Or could I even?

Ummon · « **Reply #26 on:** February 09, 2009, 04:58:47 am »

Was $215 for those who pre-ordered. Was supposed to be $235 for those after release, I think. I think both included shipping.

mytymaus007 · « **Reply #27 on:** February 12, 2009, 07:29:22 am »

Nice the site is up and working but I didnt see any updates on the star wars Blog

Level42 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 12, 2009, 10:28:37 am »

Much more importantly: is that custom made wide T-molding ready to ship ?

Havok · « **Reply #29 on:** February 13, 2009, 02:23:38 pm »

Hmmm - a repro Star Wars cockpit cab. That would be cool!

mytymaus007 · « **Reply #30 on:** February 13, 2009, 02:32:48 pm »

Kool but lets get one thing done at a time any pics of the cockpit

XtraSmiley · « **Reply #31 on:** February 13, 2009, 05:29:02 pm »

Havok · « **Reply #32 on:** February 13, 2009, 06:49:38 pm »

So how long does it take to assemble these & update your web site? It's been well over a month now.
