I'd like to see if theres enough of us Assault owners to support a run of silk screened, die cut Assault CPO's based on original Atari films. The films belong to Scott Evans who has graciously lent them to my friend Nash (Ataricade). If the run is done, it will probably occur during summer. Price point to be determined, probably in the neighborhood of $60-75 each. Almost all the original Assault cpo's Ive seen are either worn and faded, have cig burns or are really dirty looking. Mine is no too bad, but a brand new repro cpo eould be really nice. Dunno how many assault owners are out there, hope I'm not the only one, heh.

Also, Takeman is considering doing a limited run of Assault control panels, which would also be sweet to have. My CP has pop rivets in it and my start button hole has been enlarged to use a microswitch button instead of the atari cone, so I'm definitely down for 1!

Please post if you have interest.

Would be nice to get some side art done also. I have one piece of NOS if somone could maybe mirror the other side and get this done as well.

Tom, you could pencil me in for 1...

I could do a small run of panels too if there was enough interest :)

Sure thing Troy. I add ya once I get home to my laptop :) Darn Iphone interface wont allow me to scroll down far enough to do so. And very cool, please count me in for 1 panel. The previous owner of my assault enlarged the start button and riveted the panel hold downs in. If you did the panels, would there be an option to have an extra hole for 2P start which is supported by Matt Osborn's awesome assault/+ kit?

I LOVE Assault and buy every one I can get my hands on. But all mine have decent CPOs. It's the sideart that every one needs.

My panel has a bunch of extra holes in it, so I'd be interested in a replacement as well, depending on the price... I've been planning on adding the extra start button for Matt's kit too. I was going to have mamemarquees print a cpo, and add a single tank graphic to the 1 player start, and a double tank graphic to the 2 player start. I would much rather have a screened cpo, though.
 
Maybe a small sticker with two tanks that could be applied to the original panel?

To keep the panel original, better yet (and I am going to contact Matt about this) how about a mod to the code if you press the one player button twice with the second press done within a certain amount of time? The LED cone code maybe could be adjusted so it double flashes then pauses to indicate two players can play?

That would be very cool! Or how about if you press and release start as normal it starts 1P, but if you press and hold 1P start for a couple seconds it initiates 2P?

Yes, count me in for a new control panel and side art! If I can only get my mitts on some original controllers instead of the Happ Top Fire Button super specials that are on it now.

I think Dave at RAM Controls is working on a complete Assault joystick replacement.

....oh wait.....never mind. Scratch that.

Well, if he ever gets caught up on orders and refunds the $100k+ to the cockpit buyers, then this might be an option.
