What parts currently unavailable would you like to see someone repro?
I'm in training to be a machinist/CNC operator and eventually I'd like to pad my paycheck by making stuff on the side at home, preferably for my favorite hobby which is coin-ops.
I'm a LONG way from this actually happening but I thought I'd put some feelers out there to see what people might be interested in, so I can start gather data, drawings etc on such?
Star Wars flight yokes? Some oddball controller from a rare game?
I know there's some pedals that are always turning to crap for games like Badlands and Hard Driving that have a weird, unreplaceable gel pressure-senor that breaks down, I'm wondering if perhaps I can develop a retro-fit kit can replace it with a potentiometer or something? There are also no doubt gears for other things that always go that are normally made out of plastics like nylon but would probably be better off made out of aluminum.
For myself I'm going to make a set of repro controls for an Exidy Fire One for which I have the PCBs, though I know there won't be demand for those as most people have never even heard of it.
