interest thread for 4in trackball "missile command, and other atari games" plastic

hey
i talked to my plastics guy today and he says he can do it.

i was seeing if enough people want the square peice of plastic that goes ontop of the trackball reproduced. it will look like the origional with the 62% bevel where the ball is.

it will take 1 week from the time i start this they say.

looking to sell them at $12.00 each plus shipping and would like to do a preorder if enough people want them. they are going to be made out of extruded acrylic.
please post here if you want them made i will need to get about 75 sold




here is a pic so you can see where it fits on the trackball

Thats the clear plastic piece right? Mine is cracked. So I'm down as I would expect it not to be real pricey

doesnt look like this is going to happen
theres just not enough intrest
i thought there would be considering when ram was going to do them he wanted 30 each and im not even close to that price

Consider that Adam and Jim would have most likely ordered samples or a small run from overseas, then not paid for them, then sold them cheap. Easy profit when you're scamming someone.

I may look at doing these soon as I need to do a couple of pair for myself. I'd build a jig from MDF and use a router/template.
