metal coin door return flaps for the early 80's coinco single doors - takeman where are you?
i need about 20
Got a pic of one? Maybe that's something I could make a jig for to stamp them out.
Parts that make up the Battlezone joysticks.
1. Mounting plate circles, most of them have the screw legs broke off of them or about ready to break. (should be made out of aluminum)
2. Ball joint, lots of them are torn up and have heavy gouges in the plastic.
3. The joystick base. Just like the ball section, the socket part of the base is usually broken or badly gouged.
Interesting thought. I have some BZ controls around, I'll have to dig them up too along with the Arkanoid spinners and see what the possibilities are, certainly the plate circles sound doable. Also Red Baron's stick shares a few parts with BZ's controls, I'll have to look at one of them too.
All the stuff mentioned thus far are things that more or less can be found, is there anything pretty much unobtainable that keeps games from being repro'd or is gradually driving existing ones to extinction? It would be nice to help save some games or aid in recreating rare ones, like has been done with Quantum. I know there's a lot of unobtainable electronics (PCBs, ICs, etc) badly needed in the hobby but I'm talking about metal and plastic stuff.
