Ok folks, this week I will have the Midway monitor bubbles ready to roll out thanks to a Member here that loaned me one. I have had a ton of requests for other items and this coming year I am going to be very busy making things for this group. Here is a list of items so far that is on the blocks:

Genesis Pinball ramps - Orders being completed as we speak
midway monitor bubble - COMPLETED
pole position dash board- IN process
lunar lander thruster cover- COMPLETED
battlezone joystick halves - colors available - on hold
blaster/inferno joysticks - on hold
outrun dash boards - In process
Outrun mini dash - in process
spy hunter sit down seats- currently being discussed
sinistar cockpit control panels- Possibly in process soon

I know there are more things people want and once you all see the quality of these items I am hoping more people will want to make the parts available for taking a master mold from. I offer the original back you and two copies as a thank you for making it happen. Pics will be coming once the projects are ready for forming/casting.

So I ask if you have any ideas on what to make to post here and also drop me a PM. Restoration is important and I want to stop the mame destruction of originals!

So post away and lets all see what we can do!

and I just bought an Out Run dash on Ebay..

Well, how much do you expect it to cost and when could it be available? Still likely interested.
 
I have no clue yet for the outrun or the pole position. Lots of things to do still. I WANT to be able to offer PP for $75 shipped... For outrun I am guesstimating about $50-60 shipped. We will see.

Yes hte midway monitor bubble is the large version that will fit gorf and others. I will be posting pics once they are done and taking orders then. I will initially form 15 of them so there is no waiting once the order is placed.

Thanks for the Kudos Cabs! I will be working on them asap!

sinistar control panel

i got guy working on remaking them if he falls though would like to get 3 of the control panels thanks wade
 
I think the Battlezone joystick handle with the top button is the same that is used in Peter Packrat (except that PPR is blue).

If so, there might be interest in a blue version.
 
UpDATE!

Yes, the joystick is the same handles. I would need to see the color to best try to match it.


OK here is the update so far:

The monitor bubble mold is done today or tomorrow and then I will post pics of the original and the new one right next to it.

I have taken on a pinball ramp project and I will have those molds done as well this weekend.

So stay tuned! Cool. stuff is coming!

Darth - I think we can do those too! I would need the part brought to me and we can mold it and then get it rolling. I want to build a huge inventory of items and molds so nothing is ever just done once.. but can be done when needed. Molds will last forever when properly taken c care of. So yes, PM me and lets get this one rolling too!

Is there anything that could be done to make the BZ stick shells be more durable than the originals?

Just had some friends over from work the other day during lunch to play the games and sure enough -- they cracked another joystick shell. :(

That makes 2 of them in the last year...
 
The originals used injection molded ABS. I am going to be using a resin that has a much better shore hardness rating than the ABS had. The handles wont crack at all.

I am going to get those going soon. I have to finish two molds already in progress. The ramps for a pinball game and then the monitor bubble, well simultaneously actually. Then I have a joystick to cast for someone as well. So I will do the BZ handles at the same time.

So much to do!

Well, thanks for what you're doing!

Now if I could just get you to cast a new fully functional G08 monitor chassis made entirely out of plastic, people would bow down to you as you walked past. :)
 
This is awesome. Just don't follow in others footsteps and get too much going, man. Even one product, consistently made and shipped on time, kicks major ass.
