For The Love of God !!!!!

Why hasn't anyone tackled the reproduction of these? You could sell them all day long for $200.

$610!

Didn't even know it exsisted until now.  :P

Seems kinda of like a single use control. Sure you could use it for other spinner games, but would you want to?

I'm pretty sure Oscar already had the plans laid out, but has never produced any.

I love Major Havoc - never played with that control, only a conversion. The dedicated cab rocks...

I'll put a controller like this on my list of things to do. 

I think the reason this has gone so high is the rarity of the original control. 


Does anyone have any specs on this thing (roller size, material composition, etc) ?

Thanks,
RandyT

I wonder if the buyer IS planning on making a repro?....why else would you spend so much?

I think Oscar already did most of the research and was getting comments in this thread.

wow....that archived post from Oscar reminds me of how much I miss his products.

OSCAR WE NEED YOU!

....man, I liked Major Havok....but never loved it....but if a repro joy became available I would snatch up 2 since they're so hard to come by. I'm sure it would be fun to have a MH controller on a control panel.

I noticed that the pic on the ebay auction doesn't exactly match the pic posted by saint on Oscar's thread....might there have been more than one "original?"

The one saint posted was a repro.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen
