I just received my freebie/order from Dave at RAM controls and all I can say is WOW!!
Food fight stick and ball - this baby is heavy! Not a cheap light-weight steel shaft. This thing has some heft. I compared it to the shaft that I have to replace and it is a perfect reproduction. The chrome finish is excellent and the ball top is identical in size, as well as smooth and unblemished. I cannot imagine ever having to replace this again, no matter how much use it can get. This would definitely stand up to everyday, commercial use. Well-packed in its own plastic bag and the ball top was even further packed with an additional plastic bag to protect it from scratches.
Pivot ball - this is what makes me sick. This thing is virtually indistiguishable from NOS other than feeling a bit sturdier. The part that makes me sick - I spent $60 with shipping for this NOS one a year ago!
Pots - look to be a heavier duty version of the NOS pots. Perfect fit. With the linkages I got from Franklin last year, this baby will be sweet.
Overall - Well packed, shipped fast (Next Day!). Not only would I not hesitate ordering from Dave again, but I look forward to buying some of his other stuff as it becomes available. I honestly would put the quality of his work alongside the quality that Darin at PhoenixArcade, Brian at ArcadeStencils.com and ThisOldGame.com have put into the reproduction artwork. Its a great day to have another quality resource available. Thanks, Dave.
