WTB: Tron Joystick Handle (Translucent Blue) ***Please Read***
galaga69:
Looking to buy a nice, presentable, ever-elusive original Tron translucent blue joystick handle (or even entire joystick unit). My buddy and I are breathing new life into a Tron cabinet and want to do it justice with the correct joystick.
Can you help us with our quest? ???
Please PM me if you would seriously be willing to part with one, and include your asking price and any other pertinent details. :cheers:
Best regards,

I see these sticks on ebay occasionally without the collectible pack and games. I always wondered if anyone had tried converting, or using the handle portion of this to create a Tron stick for their panel?
I built my machine and was active in this forum in 03-04. I can't BELIEVE 3-4 years later STILL nobody has done a molded repro Tron handle and put them for sale in here. I predict they'd sell incredibly well and we'd start seeing a lot more tron-centric Mame Machines...
I want a tron stick too, dammit. The Happs fire-top stick on my "tron" panel is a sorry substitute.

Anyone, anyone? :dunno

I know this won't help you much but it may give you hope....
I remember seeing somewhere (I can't remember where, sorry) that a guy had copied the joystick handle and was making new handles, that are about 99% correct and they look great. I think some people had said they needed to take a razor and remove some extra plastic from the process but that in the end they couldn't tell the difference.
I can't remember for sure but either this guy made a mold from an original handle or he had gained access to an original mold and was using that to make new handles.
If I can figure out where I saw this guys info I'll post it here. Good luck, TK.
EDIT... there's this post here that might help you as well... this could be the same person I was thinking of, but it doesn't seem like the same person.

OK... here's where I saw what I was talking about... not sure if the post here and who this guy is talking about are the same or not... but I hope this can give you guys some leads in finding some sticks...
