RAM CONTROLS NEW RELEASE ITEM

It's been talked about, it's been considered by others, it's even been poo-poo'd just as many times.

The 720 controller handle (not the entire controller, mind you, JUST the handle - shaft and knob) has finally been reproduced and made available to the arcade community by RAM Controls.

The knobs are made from precision ground and drilled phenolic resin, polished to a high gloss.  The shafts are made from precision ground 304 stainless steel, machined and drilled to original Atari specification.

BYOAC, as always, is the first to be informed of the development!  The discounted offer made to the BYOAC community will be significantly under the RAM Controls website pricing, so take advantage of it.

The reproduction control handles turned out really nice if I do say so myself!!  There was a lot of decision making during this phase of the project, but all turned out well.

Take a looksie:
















I hope these look as good to you as they do to me!  This is only one small part of a much larger project to recreate the entire 720 rotary controller.  Needless to say, this is a key component which needed to be taken care of if for no other reason than to keep current 720 games/controller maintained and lookin' pretty!

If you'd like to read more in-depth about the various aspects of this project, please visit the following link:

If you'd like to ORDER one, the BYOAC special price is $40 shipped anywhere in the world!  To purchase at this special price, you must contact me directly through PM or direct email.  This is a very limited time deal, so act now.

Please stay tuned because many, MANY other quality reproduction items are on the horizon and they're all coming from RAM Controls!

Those look great.

I saw the blog about the change in ball material.  I thought the balls on the sticks I had were a little soft and prone to being damaged.  These look fantastic.  Can't wait to see what is next.

PM sent.

Those look great.  I'd get one if I had a 720.
