POLL Lunar Lander Thruster

I would like one of these too.

I have an Asteroids Deluxe that I would like to do a multi conversion on and wonder if anyone else here thinks there is enough room on the control panel for this, along with the other controls? Deluxe is a bit less wide than regular Asteroids, so it might be too tight.

I thought there was someone who did this at one point (maybe with a custom CPO as well?) I was just mentioning this to another KLOVer, but couldn't find the link.

Anyone else remember who it was?
 
probably Takeman.

I do see an old thread about asteroids, lunar lander, and an asteroids multi... but couldn't figure out the details of exactly what the asteroids multi panel looked like/etc.

I know this is outside the scope of a reproduction controller, but would people be interested in a 1/2 scale Lunar Lander thruster controller? I've wondered about multi-games and trying to cram more buttons or controllers onto one control panel. I think it would be cool to have a smaller thruster controller that looked like a real Lunar Lander thruster except smaller, like a Centipede trak-ball compared to Missile Command/Football giant trak-ball. Same POT, obviously, but everything else scaled down. I'd buy one if they existed for sure, but I have a real Lunar Lander so I don't quite need a full-size controller as of yet.
 
Honestly, that does sound kind of cool. It would be great if ZVG multi vector was more of a thing. It would be great in a game that had lunar lander and Gravitar.

Thanks everyone for the Asteroids Deluxe multi discussion, it helps a lot. A scaled down thruster would be very cool, maybe an inch less wide or something. I do think that by sliding all the buttons over to the left, a thruster would fit. Might have to move back the brackets a little to make room, and I don't know where the spinner would go but I think it would work. I figure that if Space Duel, with the same width, can fit two full sets of player buttons the we should be able to squeeze in a thruster.

P.S. I just looked at a picture of the original Lunar Lander CP and see that the thruster is quite the big, beefy bitch! Yes that scaled down one would be great!

I ran the CP for regular Asteroids and TOG did silk screen overlays. Im now moving to screen the overlay directly on the CP. I have not seen anything with AD.
 
This is a poll to see who would purchase a complete Lunar Lander Thruster controller. This would include the 5k pot and plastic thruster cover. All parts would be zinc plated like the original. I'm estimating the cost to be near $180-$190. If you are interested, please post here to be added to the interest list.
