what else could he do?

Stop bullshitting the community perhaps?  By his own account everything is done aside from powder coating certain parts.  I call BS.  I've never heard of powder coating taking over a year?!  But since I don't have $$$ involved in this my opinion doesn't mean squat...

...this yoke is the Duke Nukem Forever of the MAME community.

hey we all have thing that come up in life to prevent us from doing what we'd like
This is a hobby for him and he's NOT ripping anyone off in fact for those of us who already have a yoke his tune up it was invaluable, as well as Atari cone buttons and a fantastic major havoc roller among other things
this guy is just try to help out the community
of course more responce would be better but we simply don't know what his situation is, and as long as he's not holding anybody's money I just don't understand the Haters

TheShanMan:
Bender, I totally agree. But I also agree with fatfingers at this point. No one is convincing anyone here. Everyone has their opinions established. They are apparently not swayed by what we think are very compelling arguments, and we're not being swayed by what they probably think are compelling arguments either.

Let's stop arguing about whether Dave is a good guy or a bad guy, and wait until there is real news on the subject (e.g. whether or not people are able to get refunds, or if RAM comes back to life).

This is it exactly. Everyone who put money up for this project knew it was going to a hobbyist. Things happen, if they don't like it, they should ask for their money back. David is the only one who dared to take on such a product and all of the people who gave money know this. It is probably the same reason they haven't asked for their money back. Look at the web site, if he was out to take everyones money he wouldn't be spending it on all of those manufactured parts.

It kills me that people who have probably never tackled a project like this want to mention how long something like powder coating should take. I am  the production manager for an upstart consumer electronics company, not by trade mind you. I am in it because someone noticed that I have an eye for detail. We have gone through several metal suppliers and powder coating shops looking for the right combination of quality, cost, and consistency. This ain't easy to find on the local level, trust me.


Ummon:
Well, the clock's tickin. On the posting of this thread, and given I did get a used yoke on ebay, I went and emailed David for a refund. Interestingly, he responded back within a few hours, and asked for address confirmation. I gave it and the next morning he said he'd have it coming out my way Monday. Maybe he's not going paypal due to fees, so should be some time later next week.

Havok:
Hmmm - I sent an email a week ago, and no response. Can you PM me the address you used?
