I've been rebuilding Atari controllers for so long, it's pretty sad to even admit to. LOL I posted up on the general sub about the upper/lower housings I'm contemplating having made via injection mold and this is sort of an offshoot of that post. I've been running low on parts for HE/720 joystick rebuilds for awhile now and I finally decided to just make the parts myself since nobody else was going for it. Having a few pieces of the upper and lower housing parts completed, I'm finally able to put together my complete scratch build 720 controller. Everything on it is a reproduction, not one single NOS/OEM part was used in the making of this controller. At first, I was worried it would end up a franken-stick, but it turned out awesome! This was definitely a labor of love. There's no other way to justify my investment into making it. I just wanted to show it off because I'm super proud of this achievement.
The little box shown in the pictures is my homebrew dual coupler tester. I made this awhile back because I was looking for an easy way to test optic boards on 720 sticks. This was such a fun build. It took forever, but I did it! It works so smooth, too!!
Chad, I'll admit that seeing your b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l rebuilds on ebay is what motivated me to get off my ass and finish this scratch build of mine! LOL
Ok, now I can finally take a breath. I'll install in my 720 ASAP and play the game like it was meant to be played. With a working controller!!
